Sink repair in Bursledon without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about a crazed, tired basin and a period basin that needs restoring.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Bursledon
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need sink repair in Bursledon?

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped basin edge

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repairing versus replacing in Bursledon
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
