Sink repair in Carlinghow, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and fine cracks across the glaze.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Questions from Carlinghow
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you repair a chipped basin?

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Carlinghow. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
