Sink repair in Burston

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Sink repair in Burston, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for an original basin worth saving and cracks starting at the waste, in Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Burston

Can I fix it myself?

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 pictures, as it can add time.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Burston. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
