Your questions about sink repair in Thorley Street
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Do you need sink repair in Thorley Street?

When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What else we do in Thorley Street
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Work done at your home or business
- One visit for most repairs
See our pricing.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
