Fairburn: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A fixed quote before you book
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
