Sink & basin repair in Thurstaston, Wirral
Problem with your basin in Thurstaston? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Sink repair in Thurstaston without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you’re dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped vanity basin, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we’re called out for in Thurstaston
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks starting at the waste
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Thurstaston
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CH61 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
