About our sink repair in Burley
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crazed, tired basin, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An original basin worth saving

Repair or replace in Burley?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Burley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What else we do in Burley
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Burley. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Burley questions
Do you cover the entire of Rutland?
Across the UK, so Burley is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
