How we handle sink repair in Thornton-le-Moor
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about chips around the rim and an antique basin with chips.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Thornton-le-Moor as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When to call us in Thornton-le-Moor
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
For anyone letting property in or around Thornton-le-Moor, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Common questions in Thornton-le-Moor
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
