Sink repair in Thornhills

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

About our sink repair in Thornhills

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with a crack near the taps and knocks from hair straighteners, we can help, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Thornhills. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Questions from Thornhills

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Thornhills.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Calderdale and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
