Burraton questions
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How much does sink repair cost in Burraton?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PL12 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
