Thurgarton: your questions answered
Do you cover the whole of Nottinghamshire?
All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. 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.

Take a look at our pricing.
What affects the price in Thurgarton
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Thurgarton. The price reflects:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common problems we fix in Thurgarton
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What to look for in a quote
