Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Repair or replace in East Carlton?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. In an older home in a village like East Carlton, replacing a basin can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for East Carlton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything
- Colour mixed on the day to match

When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

FAQs for East Carlton
Will you travel to East Carlton?
Yes, we do: East Carlton is covered like any town. Just mention any tricky access.
Is it worth repairing old basins in a period home in East Carlton?
Typically, yes. Older basins are frequently worth repairing rather than replacing. Photos let us tell you what we’d recommend.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, 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.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
