Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Most customers in Burham get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Sink repair in Burham without replacing anything
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about cracks starting at the waste and a crazed, tired basin.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

FAQs for Burham
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Burham included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
How to get 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.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repairing versus replacing in Burham
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
