About our sink repair in Thurlton

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and fine cracks across the glaze.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Your questions about sink repair in Thurlton

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Thurlton is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thurlton

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Thurlton

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

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What affects the price in Thurlton

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
