When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

- Leaks from the fittings

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Advice
Questions from Thorpe
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repair or replace in Thorpe?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Normally one visit, start to finish
