About our sink repair in Thorpe
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on a built-in basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottinghamshire.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you work in Thorpe?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Thorpe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Thorpe. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Thorpe get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
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.
