Sink repair in Borrowash without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you’re dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and fine cracks across the glaze, we can usually put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Borrowash, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Your questions about sink repair in Borrowash

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What affects the price in Borrowash
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Borrowash. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Borrowash, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What else we do in Borrowash
When a repair isn’t the answer

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
