Sink repair in Calver without replacing anything

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. If you’re dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and fine cracks across the glaze, we can normally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Should you replace it?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Landlord and trade work in Calver

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Calver questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Derbyshire.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Do you come to Calver?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Calver and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
