DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Carrbridge, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Get chips repaired early

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Common problems we fix in Carrbridge

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

10 questions to ask before booking

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

What affects the price in Carrbridge

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
