DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Belper
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped vanity basin
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Belper. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Belper and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Belper
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Belper use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Common questions in Belper
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Belper?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DE56 postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
