About our sink repair in Burghclere Common
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and an antique basin with chips, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Burghclere Common clients choose us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour-matched on site

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Advice
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Burghclere Common. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Burghclere Common get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
