When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Cubley
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business

Will the price change on the day?

Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a repair better than a new one?

Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
