- Repairs from £95
- An original basin worth saving
- A crack near the taps
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Sink repair in Carlton, done in place
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and crazing in the glaze.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped basin edge
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

- A close-up of the damage, in focus

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Carlton questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
