Landlords, agents and businesses in Tibshelf
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Tibshelf
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Tibshelf: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Derbyshire.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we are called out for in Tibshelf
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
