Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlord and trade work in Thringstone
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Your questions about sink repair in Thringstone
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
