Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Typical jobs include a crack near the taps and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Carndu: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Carndu and the rest of Highland. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Most clients in Carndu get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
