10 questions to ask before booking

Sink repair in Thistleton 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. Common call-outs are for a crack near the taps and fine cracks across the glaze, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your basin is made of matters

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 polish the repair to suit.

Thistleton: your questions answered

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are there extra charges for Thistleton?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
