How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Questions from Burngreave
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you come to Burngreave?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Burngreave for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Other services in Burngreave
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
