Sink repair at your home in Cutthorpe
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We’re frequently asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and cracks around the tap holes or waste, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you are in Cutthorpe and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Cutthorpe
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

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.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Cutthorpe questions
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are there extra charges for Cutthorpe?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work in Cutthorpe?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cutthorpe and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
