How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Carlton: your questions answered
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Carlton is covered. Prices do not change with location.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you need sink repair in Carlton?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Carlton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 normally the cheaper route.
