Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

FAQs for Bishop Thornton
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What affects the price in Bishop Thornton
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
