Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.

Carnaby questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover the whole of East Riding of Yorkshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Carnaby and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy 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 carefully around original features.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Carnaby, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Carnaby?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
