How we handle sink repair in Thurlby
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Advice
Questions from Thurlby
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work in Thurlby?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Thurlby and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlord and trade work in Thurlby
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colour-matched on site
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- No extra charge for your area
