Sink repair at your home in Thickwood
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We are often asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, in vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

FAQs for Thickwood
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Thickwood
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
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 the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Thickwood. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Thickwood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What we’re called out for in Thickwood
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips around the rim
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An original basin worth saving
- A crack near the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
