FAQs for Great Burstead
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Great Burstead?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CM11 postcode.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Great Burstead, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
