Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Ecton
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. 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 a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
