Burrells questions
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you cover Burrells?
We do. We send a technician to Burrells for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What else we do in Burrells
Landlords, agents and businesses in Burrells
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Burrells
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What affects the price in Burrells
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Burrells. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
