Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thorpefield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Thorpefield: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What areas do you cover?
All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
