From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for fine cracks across the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge, in antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Your questions about sink repair in Thornhill Lees
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kirklees, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornhill Lees
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When to call us in Thornhill Lees
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

- An original basin worth saving
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What your quote should include

- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thornhill Lees. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
