Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Which areas do you work in?

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why Thurcaston customers choose us
- Everything repaired in place
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
