The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Throop. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
FAQs for Throop
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
What we’re called out for in Throop
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A chipped basin edge
- An antique basin with chips
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
