About our sink repair in Carnwath
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s an antique basin with chips and chips from dropped toiletries, we can help, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Carnwath

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon.
- 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.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Carnwath
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carnwath as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
