Sink repair in Burwell without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Landlord and trade work in Burwell
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
