Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Thornhaugh. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour-matched on site
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Thornhaugh: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?

What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

How much does sink repair cost in Thornhaugh?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice

What else we do in Thornhaugh
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
