What else we do in Little Thurlow
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
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.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Little Thurlow. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Advice
Do you need sink repair in Little Thurlow?
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A chipped basin edge
- A chipped vanity basin
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
