DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

What else we do in Thenford
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Thenford. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
