If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Common call-outs are for damage to a basin in a vanity unit and cracks around the tap holes or waste, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole basin
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

- Knocks from hair straighteners

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, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Your questions about sink repair in Thornham Magna
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
