Sink repair in Burpham without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a period basin that needs restoring.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

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
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
When to call us in Burpham
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Common reasons people in Burpham contact us include:
- Chips around the rim
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Burpham. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repairing versus replacing in Burpham
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. We do not 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.
