About our sink repair in Thornhill
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Southampton.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Thornhill
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
