Sink repair at your home in Thorncote Green
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and fine cracks across the glaze, we can typically put it right.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.

Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Thorncote Green
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
