Thrupe questions
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you cover the whole of Somerset?
Across the UK, so Thrupe is covered. Prices do not change with location.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
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 in Thrupe?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Other services in Thrupe
Landlord and trade work in Thrupe
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thrupe. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would 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 protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
