DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Common questions in Denby Common

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Derbyshire.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?

The whole UK, including all of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Denby Common

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
