Repair or replace in Thurmaston?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thurmaston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish 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
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Thurmaston
How do I get a price for sink repair in Thurmaston?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Thurmaston, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
