What affects the price in Draycott
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Draycott questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
We work UK-wide, so Draycott is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How much does sink repair cost in Draycott?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Draycott, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
