What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Sink repair in Burnhope without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s an original basin worth saving and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

FAQs for Burnhope
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
How much does sink repair cost in Burnhope?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
