Repair or replace: which is better?

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we handle sink repair in Derwen
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Typical jobs include damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a period basin that needs restoring, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Advice
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Derwen
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
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.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Derwen. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Derwen
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crack near the taps
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
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.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
