Sink repair in Thelbridge without replacing anything
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crazed, tired basin.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.
Related advice
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
