About our sink repair in Burneside
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and a crack near the taps, we can usually put it right, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Burneside customers choose us
- Everything repaired in place
- Same prices wherever you are
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour mixed on the day to match
Read our prices page.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Your questions about sink repair in Burneside
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your LA9 postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Are there extra charges for Burneside?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
