Common questions in Millthorpe
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Millthorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

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 and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
