Sink & basin repair in Bolsover, Derbyshire
We travel to Bolsover for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips around the rim
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How we handle sink repair in Bolsover
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or front edge and chips on a built-in basin, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
What we are called out for in Bolsover

Bolsover questions
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.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bolsover for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bolsover. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
