About our sink repair in Carshalton
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are often asked to fix a crack near the taps and knocks from hair straighteners, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Carshalton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Your questions about sink repair in Carshalton
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How much does sink repair cost in Carshalton?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Carshalton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

What a repair cannot fix
