Advice
Sink repair at your home in Carlton-on-Trent
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with cracks starting at the waste and a chipped vanity basin, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
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 water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Carlton-on-Trent: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
