How we handle sink repair in Findern
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Do you need sink repair in Findern?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on a built-in basin
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from 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.
Your questions about sink repair in Findern
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you come to Findern?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Findern and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match

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 clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
