How we handle sink repair in High Throston
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Typical jobs include a period basin that needs restoring and a crack near the taps, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in High Throston
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Same prices wherever you are
- One visit for most repairs
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What affects the price in High Throston
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for High Throston. The price reflects:
- The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
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.
