How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Signs you need sink repair in Thorlby

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thorlby. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Thorlby get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repair or replace in Thorlby?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- One price list for the entire UK
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour-matched on site

Questions from Thorlby
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
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 you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
