Sink & basin repair in Carrington, Lincolnshire
Our repair technicians come to Carrington for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Knocks from hair straighteners

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

How we handle sink repair in Carrington
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and a crazed, tired basin.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carrington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Questions from Carrington
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Are there extra charges for Carrington?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
