Questions from Carleton
Do you cover the entire of Wakefield?
The whole UK, including all of Wakefield. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Carleton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colour-matched on site

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Carleton. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire basin
For a price in Carleton, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
