Sink repair at your home in Burn
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped vanity basin, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Burn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
You do not 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 reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Your questions about sink repair in Burn
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
