- Repairs from £95
- A crack near the taps
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Sink repair in Thursden without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for cracks around the tap holes or waste and knocks from hair straighteners, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Thursden
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
FAQs for Thursden
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lancashire.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
