FAQs for Carlyon Bay
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you cover Carlyon Bay?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Carlyon Bay from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
The price 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.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 pictures.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
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 it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
