About our sink repair in Thurning
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for a chipped basin edge and fine cracks across the glaze, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What affects the price in Thurning
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
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.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Thurning get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thurning as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Common problems we fix in Thurning
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crazed, tired basin
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
