Common questions in Carmel
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your LL54 postcode.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you need sink repair in Carmel?
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An antique basin with chips
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips around the rim
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Carmel
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
