What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Common problems we fix in Thomastown

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • A crack near the taps
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Thomastown. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

FAQs for Thomastown

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

What affects the price in Thomastown

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
