Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Common problems we fix in Thurcroft

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Crazing in the glaze

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about sink repair in Thurcroft

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Thurcroft. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Thurcroft, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairing versus replacing in Thurcroft

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.
