How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repair or replace in Burdon?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Burdon. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Burdon questions
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you cover Burdon?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Burdon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When to call us in Burdon
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin

Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
