How we handle sink repair in Thurstonfield
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped vanity basin and crazing in the glaze, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare

- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Signs you need sink repair in Thurstonfield
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace in Thurstonfield?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
