Sink & basin repair in Burstow, Surrey
We travel to Burstow for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An antique basin with chips
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How we handle sink repair in Burstow
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about an antique basin with chips and a chipped vanity basin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Burstow, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Surrey and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What your basin is made of matters

FAQs for Burstow
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you cover the entire of Surrey?
Everywhere in the UK, Burstow included. Travel is included in the price.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Burstow.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
When to call us in Burstow

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
