Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lower Birchwood. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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 photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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.
Do you need sink repair in Lower Birchwood?
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

- Chips around the rim
- Knocks from hair straighteners

- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
Lower Birchwood questions
Which areas do you work in?
All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Different materials, different repairs
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
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
