Sink repair in Burstall, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Common call-outs are for an antique basin with chips and fine cracks across the glaze, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole basin
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
What we are called out for in Burstall
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A crazed, tired basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Burstall: your questions answered
How much does sink repair cost in Burstall?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- No need to remove anything
