Sink repair for Thornbury homes

Should you replace it?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

About our sink repair in Thornbury

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We are often asked to fix an original basin worth saving and chips around the rim, across antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What we are called out for in Thornbury

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Your questions about sink repair in Thornbury

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Are there extra charges for Thornbury?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Bradford.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornbury

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornbury as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Thornbury

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Thornbury, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
