Sink repair in Tealby Thorpe without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crack near the taps, we can normally put it right, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Tealby Thorpe
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When to call us in Tealby Thorpe
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Look out for any of the following:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips around the rim
- A crazed, tired basin
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to care for the finish
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
