Sink repair at your home in Burbage

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you’re dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and a crack near the taps, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Burbage and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Do you need sink repair in Burbage?

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • An original basin worth saving

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Burbage

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What affects the price in Burbage

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole basin

For a price in Burbage, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Questions from Burbage

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Burbage is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you come to Burbage?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Burbage from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Different materials, different repairs

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.
