Sink & basin repair in Lydgate, Derbyshire
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins at your home in Lydgate, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or front edge

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Lydgate
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
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.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us

- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Lydgate, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lydgate as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
