Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Do you need sink repair in Thornham Fold?
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crack near the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Thornham Fold. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
