Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Appleby Magna. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about sink repair in Appleby Magna
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you come to Appleby Magna?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Appleby Magna. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Derbyshire.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Appleby Magna, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Appleby Magna
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An antique basin with chips
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
