How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

About our sink repair in Balsham
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about chips from dropped toiletries and cracks starting at the waste.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Balsham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Balsham
- Work done at your home or business
- Same prices wherever you are
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Nothing taken out or refitted

What affects the price in Balsham
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
