About our sink repair in Burray Village
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Burray Village?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- A fixed quote before you book
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Work done at your home or business

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
