Sink repair in Burgh Castle, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are crazing in the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Repairing versus replacing in Burgh Castle
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
