What affects the price in Thoresby

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  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

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Thoresby questions

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why Thoresby clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Thoresby

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

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

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.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
