Sink Repair for Upper Thurnham homes
Our technicians come to Upper Thurnham for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A period basin that needs restoring
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Sink repair at your home in Upper Thurnham
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What else we do in Upper Thurnham
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LA2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Upper Thurnham questions

We do. Repair technicians travel to Upper Thurnham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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 photos.
Common problems we fix in Upper Thurnham
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Crazing in the glaze
