About our sink repair in Snelston
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. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are crazing in the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Snelston
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What affects the price in Snelston
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Snelston. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most customers in Snelston get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Snelston: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE6 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When to call us in Snelston
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A chipped basin edge
- A chipped vanity basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An original basin worth saving
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
