Sink repair in Smallburn without replacing anything
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
FAQs for Smallburn
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits

- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
