Sink & basin repair in Carlton, Suffolk
Damaged basin in Carlton? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips around the rim
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
About our sink repair in Carlton
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped basin edge, we can usually put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Carlton and across Suffolk.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Carlton. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Carlton, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
