Sink repair in Thornwood without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you are dealing with an original basin worth saving and cracks starting at the waste, we can help, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price

Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thornwood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you come to Thornwood?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Thornwood from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you need sink repair in Thornwood?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Thornwood, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
