Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Sink repair in Matlock without replacing anything

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or front edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can help, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Matlock: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Matlock

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Matlock, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Matlock clients choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Most jobs done in one visit
