How we handle sink repair in Throxenby
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped basin edge.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Throxenby. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Throxenby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
