The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready 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
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions about sink repair in Thrupp
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
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.
