Common questions in Carterton
How do I get a price for sink repair in Carterton?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can

Repairing versus replacing in Carterton
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When to call us in Carterton
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped vanity basin
- An antique basin with chips
