Sink repair in Thorpe Common

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

How we handle sink repair in Thorpe Common

We match the glaze as well as the colour. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for an antique basin with chips and chips on a built-in basin, in vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Questions from Thorpe Common

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Thorpe Common. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
