Sink repair at your home in Mattersey Thorpe
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We’re frequently asked to fix a chipped basin edge and chips on a built-in basin, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Questions from Mattersey Thorpe
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- 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.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Mattersey Thorpe
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Mattersey Thorpe. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
