How we handle sink repair in Thurnscoe

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped basin edge and fine cracks across the glaze.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain

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, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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.
