Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

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 Thompson

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • A crack near the taps
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A chipped basin edge

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Thompson, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Thompson

  • Enamelled basins

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP24 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
