What affects the price in Thorp Arch
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Thorp Arch questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
