Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
The process
On the day itself, there’s 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 check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Buxton. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you’re in Buxton and want a price, 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 Buxton
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Buxton: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Buxton and the rest of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
