Sink repair in Carno without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about chips on a built-in basin and fine cracks across the glaze.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Your questions about sink repair in Carno
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
