How we handle sink repair in Thursby
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. Typical jobs include chips around the rim and fine cracks across the glaze, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

When to call us in Thursby
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

FAQs for Thursby
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover Thursby?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Thursby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What affects the price in Thursby
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Thursby. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in Thursby and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
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.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
