Sink repair in Thrigby 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 so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped vanity basin.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Questions from Thrigby
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?
Everywhere in the UK, Thrigby included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Thrigby
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Thrigby
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips around the rim
- A crack near the taps
- A crazed, tired basin
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
