DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What affects the price in Thorntree
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
