Common questions in Thornton Heath
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Do you need sink repair in Thornton Heath?
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Common reasons people in Thornton Heath contact us are:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped basin edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go 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.

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
