DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Sink repair in Thingwall without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about crazing in the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wirral.

Questions from Thingwall
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
