When to call us in Carn-glas
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips around the rim
- A chipped vanity basin

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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 tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Carn-glas
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
See our full price list.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there 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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Carn-glas, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Carn-glas
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.

Common questions in Carn-glas
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
