Sink repair at your home in Thrimby
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include knocks from hair straighteners and a period basin that needs restoring, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

Repair or replace in Thrimby?

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Thrimby: your questions answered
How much does sink repair cost in Thrimby?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CA10 postcode.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for Thrimby?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common problems we fix in Thrimby
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped basin edge
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
