Damaged basin in Denby Bottles? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.

- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Denby Bottles use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Denby Bottles: your questions answered
I let a flat near Belper station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes. We fix basins between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and we can quote for several properties together.
Is it worth repairing old basins in a period home in Denby Bottles?
Normally: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. We’ll give you an honest view from pictures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare. Somewhere as small as Denby Bottles, access is normally the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
