How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Thorpe on the Hill. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we are called out for in Thorpe on the Hill

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips around the rim
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Landlord and trade work in Thorpe on the Hill

For anyone letting property in or around Thorpe on the Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Thorpe on the Hill

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our full price list.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Thorpe on the Hill

Questions from Thorpe on the Hill

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
