Advice
Sink repair in Thorley without replacing anything
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. If you are dealing with a crazed, tired basin and knocks from hair straighteners, we can generally put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins alike.

Landlord and trade work in Thorley
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
