- Repairs from £95
- Knocks from hair straighteners

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire basin
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 reply with a fixed quote.

- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- 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 tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repairs by material
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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Common problems we fix in Burnbank
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

- Fine cracks across the glaze
