Sink repair in Carrington without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with a crack near the taps and crazing in the glaze, we can generally put it right.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Your questions about sink repair in Carrington
Can you repair an antique basin?

Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you come to Carrington?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Carrington. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Carrington. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Landlord and trade work in Carrington
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
