How we handle sink repair in Grassholme
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and fine cracks across the glaze, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Repair or replace in Grassholme?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Grassholme. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it 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.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
