Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Do you need sink repair in Burston?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is matched
- How changes to the job are handled
- Aftercare advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Colour-matched on site
- Fixed prices from your photos

- The finish is matched to the glaze.

Common questions in Burston
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
