What else we do in South Carlton
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.

Advice
Landlord and trade work in South Carlton
For anyone letting property in or around South Carlton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Carlton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
