About our sink repair in Borstal
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips around the rim.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Borstal
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you work in Borstal?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Borstal. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
