How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CV13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

When to call us in Carlton

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Carlton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us

Common questions in Carlton
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover Carlton?
We do. Technicians travel to Carlton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carlton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Carlton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
