How we handle sink repair in Waldley
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and crazing in the glaze.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Waldley
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What affects the price in Waldley
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common questions in Waldley
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you work in Waldley?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Waldley and the rest of Derbyshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Waldley included. There is no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Derbyshire.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
