Your questions about sink repair in Carlton in Cleveland
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
