Sink repair in Grain

Sink repair in Grain without replacing anything

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and a crack near the taps.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Grain and across Medway.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Common questions in Grain

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do you work in Grain?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Grain. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Grain and the rest of Medway. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Landlord and trade work in Grain

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
