Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Burghwallis: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

How much does sink repair cost in Burghwallis?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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 typically cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Burghwallis. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Doncaster and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burghwallis as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
