FAQs for Silverburn
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Do you come to Silverburn?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Silverburn. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Landlord and trade work in Silverburn
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Silverburn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble 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 isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
