Sink repair in Burravoe, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and cracks starting at the waste.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Burravoe and across the Shetland Islands.

What affects the price in Burravoe
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
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.
When to call us in Burravoe
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Crazing in the glaze
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How to look after the finish
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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 typically the cheaper route.
FAQs for Burravoe
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you cover Burravoe?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Burravoe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
