About our sink repair in Burstock
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We’re often asked to fix crazing in the glaze and chips on a built-in basin, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Burstock questions
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DT8 postcode.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Signs you need sink repair in Burstock

- A crack near the taps
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
