When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Repairing versus replacing in Unthank
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

FAQs for Unthank
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you come to Unthank?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Unthank. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
The entire UK, including all of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Unthank. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
