About our sink repair in Thorpe
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crazed, tired basin, across antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Thorpe and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Riding of Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
