What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

How we handle sink repair in Derrington

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, in ceramic, composite and enamel. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. Whether it’s chips from dropped toiletries and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can normally put it right, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What affects the price in Derrington

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Derrington. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Derrington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

Materials we work on in Derrington

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

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
