Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Sandiacre: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Sandiacre included. Travel is included in the price.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us photos 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.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Sandiacre. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
