Sink repair at your home in Burrington
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on a built-in basin.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common problems we fix in Burrington
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A period basin that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Landlord and trade work in Burrington
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Burrington: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work in Burrington?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Burrington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
