Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thorpe Tilney. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Thorpe Tilney, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Thorpe Tilney
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are there extra charges for Thorpe Tilney?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thorpe Tilney. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips

- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
