Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thorganby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Sink repair in Thorganby, done in place
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are knocks from hair straighteners and a crazed, tired basin.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works
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 work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common questions in Thorganby
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
