Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Carlton Hill. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- 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

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
