Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire basin
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Questions from Carleton Rode
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Signs you need sink repair in Carleton Rode
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips around the rim
- Chips on a built-in basin
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
