For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stanley Common as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can

Questions from Stanley Common
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work in Stanley Common?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Stanley Common and the rest of Derbyshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are there extra charges for Stanley Common?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When to call us in Stanley Common
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped basin edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners

What affects the price in Stanley Common
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Stanley Common. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
