Sink repair in Thurlaston, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you’re dealing with chips on a built-in basin and chips from dropped toiletries, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the price in Thurlaston

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thurlaston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thurlaston

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Do you need sink repair in Thurlaston?

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips around the rim

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
