Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DE45 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Youlgreave

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
