How we handle sink repair in Thurlby
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. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why Thurlby customers choose us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Common questions in Thurlby
Which areas do you work in?
All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins

What affects the price in Thurlby

- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash

- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
