How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Brailsford Green questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Brailsford Green and the rest of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Are there extra charges for Brailsford Green?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Signs you need sink repair in Brailsford Green

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
