Sink repair in Thrupp without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for fine cracks across the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries, across enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repair or replace in Thrupp?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Questions from Thrupp
What areas do you cover?
All of Gloucestershire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
