What else we do in Lower Thurlton
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Questions from Lower Thurlton

When to call us in Lower Thurlton

People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips around the rim
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A period basin that needs restoring

Repairing versus replacing in Lower Thurlton
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
