FAQs for Thurlaston
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole basin
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Thurlaston clients choose us
- One price list for the whole UK
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

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
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
