Sink repair in Tansley without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and crazing in the glaze.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

- What kind of damage it is

Common problems we fix in Tansley
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Crazing in the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Tansley
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Common questions in Tansley
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you work in Tansley?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Tansley and the rest of Derbyshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
