Questions from Carwe
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Carwe included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Sink repair in Carwe without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Carwe as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Carwe
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Carwe
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carwe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairing versus replacing in Carwe
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
