About our sink repair in Middleton
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include chips around the rim and a chipped vanity basin, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Middleton
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Landlord and trade work in Middleton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
