Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Thornham Parva. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
