FAQs for Spring Cottage
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Spring Cottage and the rest of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Repairing versus replacing in Spring Cottage
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- A fixed quote before you book
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Spring Cottage as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
