How we handle sink repair in Shuttlewood
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and a chipped vanity basin.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Shuttlewood and across Derbyshire.

Landlord and trade work in Shuttlewood
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Shuttlewood, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Shuttlewood questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Shuttlewood and the rest of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
