Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals

- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
About our sink repair in Thurstonland
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with crazing in the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can help, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about sink repair in Thurstonland
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Thurstonland?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Thurstonland from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
