How we handle sink repair in Ticknall

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crazed, tired basin and chips from dropped toiletries.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ticknall use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

FAQs for Ticknall

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Derbyshire.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ticknall. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled basins
