DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Landlord and trade work in Repton
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.
For anyone letting property in or around Repton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
What affects the price in Repton
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Repton
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DE65 postcode.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Repton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our prices page.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
