We do. Technicians travel to Burcott from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What does sink repair cost?

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Burcott, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Burcott
- Antique & period basins

- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
