What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you work in Kedleston?

Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derby and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

What affects the price in Kedleston

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Do you need sink repair in Kedleston?

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped basin edge

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
