Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Sink repair in Thrumster, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about a crazed, tired basin and a chipped basin edge.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Thrumster: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
