Signs you need sink repair in Little Eaton
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
Before you book anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- Aftercare advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Common questions in Little Eaton
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you cover the entire of Derby?
The whole UK, including all of Derby. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
