Sink repair in Thakeham without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Thakeham questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Thakeham.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Thakeham included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What else we do in Thakeham
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Thakeham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Thakeham, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
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 repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
