When to call us in Nether Burrow
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crazed, tired basin
Landlords with property near Wennington station (about 3.4 miles south) use us between tenancies, so basins are repaired rather than replaced.

Sink repair in Nether Burrow without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped vanity basin, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
Somewhere like Nether Burrow, you may still have period sanitaryware, and those are worth keeping. We repair around makers’ marks where we can.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
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 there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most clients in Nether Burrow get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Nether Burrow questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Wennington station?

My house in Nether Burrow is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
Frequently, yes: original pieces are usually worth keeping. Send us photos and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
