Sink repair in Lumsdale without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and a chipped vanity basin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lumsdale use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Questions from Lumsdale
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Lumsdale and the rest of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
