About our sink repair in Burgham
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
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.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burgham as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Burgham: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you cover the entire of Northumberland?
We cover the entire UK, including Burgham and the rest of Northumberland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Burgham. The price reflects:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Burgham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole basin
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repairing versus replacing in Burgham
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
