Your questions about sink repair in Threapwood

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When can you do it?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Threapwood. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we can’t put right

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Threapwood use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common problems we fix in Threapwood

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crack near the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
