About our sink repair in Horsleygate
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you are dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips on the rim or front edge, we can normally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in Horsleygate
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Derbyshire.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Repair or replace in Horsleygate?

The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Horsleygate. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Horsleygate
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horsleygate as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
