Sink & basin repair in Thornton, Liverpool
Problem with your basin in Thornton? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A chipped basin edge
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. 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.
How we handle sink repair in Thornton
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and an antique basin with chips.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What your basin is made of matters
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Thornton: your questions answered
Do you cover the whole of Liverpool?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you cover Thornton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Thornton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What happens on the day

Honest limits

- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Landlord and trade work in Thornton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
