Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
How much does sink repair cost in Upper Birchwood?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
