Sink Repair for Far Thrupp homes
We travel to Far Thrupp for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A chipped vanity basin
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Sink repair in Far Thrupp without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and chips on the rim or front edge.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Far Thrupp as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- 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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
