Sink repair in Threlkeld without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s chips on a built-in basin and fine cracks across the glaze, we can help.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Threlkeld as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
Questions from Threlkeld
Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Threlkeld.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Threlkeld and the rest of Cumbria. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
