How we handle sink repair in Ollersett
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s a period basin that needs restoring and a crazed, tired basin, we can normally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Every job is a little different, 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.

Common questions in Ollersett
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
