Sink & basin repair in Carlton, Nottinghamshire
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Carlton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Crazing in the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Questions from Carlton
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Carlton and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of

Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
