Carr questions
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your OL3 postcode.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Do you come to Carr?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Carr from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Carr. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
