What affects the price in Osmaston
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
We price from pictures so you don’t 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’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Sink repair at your home in Osmaston
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include knocks from hair straighteners and a crazed, tired basin, across Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Osmaston
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
