Sink & basin repair in Grafton, North Yorkshire
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins at your home in Grafton, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- A crazed, tired basin

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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 is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your YO51 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The material
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
If you’re in Grafton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What else we do in Grafton
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
