How we handle sink repair in Carr Vale
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and fine cracks across the glaze.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Carr Vale: your questions answered
Do you work in Carr Vale?
We do. Technicians travel to Carr Vale from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Carr Vale included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole basin
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
