When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins

Sink repair in Burton without replacing anything

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are a period basin that needs restoring and chips from dropped toiletries.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Burton customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our prices page.

Signs you need sink repair in Burton

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to care for the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Burton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Burton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Burton

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Burton. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Burton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
