Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions from Burscott
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Burscott.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How much does sink repair cost in Burscott?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What affects the price in Burscott
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Burscott. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
