Sink repair in Thornby without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and chips around the rim.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Thornby
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Should you replace it?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Thornby. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
