The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlord and trade work in Thurlstone
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thurlstone use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

FAQs for Thurlstone
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you come to Thurlstone?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Thurlstone from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Thurlstone?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
