Sink repair in Thorpe Willoughby without replacing anything

What else we do in Thorpe Willoughby
What affects the price in Thorpe Willoughby
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Thorpe Willoughby questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
