Thorpe Hamlet: your questions answered
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Thorpe Hamlet and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
