About our sink repair in Thorpe Culvert

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Related advice
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. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorpe Culvert
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Thorpe Culvert questions
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
