DIY kit or professional repair?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornborough
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Prices and what affects them

- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thornborough. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
