Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins

Repairing versus replacing in Thorney Hill
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Thorney Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What affects the price in Thorney Hill
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
We do not 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.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Thorney Hill questions
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you work in Thorney Hill?
We do. We send a technician to Thorney Hill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
