Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Sink repair in Spondon without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a chipped vanity basin and chips from dropped toiletries.
In a smaller place like Spondon, the jobs are mostly in family bathrooms. Most chips take a short visit.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Spondon. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Most clients in Spondon get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derby and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up. For a home in Spondon, we normally park close by and start right away.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access

Do you need sink repair in Spondon?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

- An antique basin with chips

For older houses around Spondon, near landmarks such as St. Werburgh's Church, it may still have original basins or a period toilet, which are worth repairing rather than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
