Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What affects the price in Alsop en le Dale
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Alsop en le Dale. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Alsop en le Dale: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you come to Alsop en le Dale?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Alsop en le Dale and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
