Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Burnley Wood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Read our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Landlords, agents and businesses in Burnley Wood

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Burnley Wood: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?

The whole UK, including all of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
