Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What else we do in Burnside
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Burnside. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Burnside. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your G73 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burnside as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
