Your questions about sink repair in Mickleover
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work in Mickleover?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Mickleover and the rest of Derby. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Sink repair in Mickleover, done in place
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and a crack near the taps, we can normally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
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.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- 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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Mickleover, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What affects the price in Mickleover
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
