Trusted sink repair in Thorney Holme

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Sink repair at your home in Thorney Holme

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and knocks from hair straighteners, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Thorney Holme

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Thorney Holme?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?

The entire UK, including all of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Thorney Holme, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Common problems we fix in Thorney Holme

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

Common reasons people in Thorney Holme contact us include:

  • Chips around the rim
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A crazed, tired basin

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
