About our sink repair in Bourn
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Do you need sink repair in Bourn?

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks starting at the waste

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Bourn questions
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Bourn?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
