About sink repair in Derby
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We are frequently asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, across antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
What you will pay
Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Derby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Repair or replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems.

Landlord and trade work in Derby
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
Your questions about sink repair in Derby
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
