Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
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.
About our sink repair in Thornton
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. If you’re dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips around the rim, we can normally put it right, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Thornton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thornton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Thornton questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
Repairing versus replacing in Thornton
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour-matched on site
- Work done at your home or business
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Thornton
For anyone letting property in or around Thornton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
