- Repairs from £95

What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins

Sink repair at your home in Carnhot
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Common call-outs are for a chipped vanity basin and cracks starting at the waste, in Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What affects the price in Carnhot
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Carnhot. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

When to call us in Carnhot
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

What your basin is made of matters
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
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Your questions about sink repair in Carnhot
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
