Sink repair in Burton without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a chipped vanity basin and fine cracks across the glaze.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Burton and across Dorset.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks

Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Burton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your BH23 postcode.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
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 you book.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
