Sink Repair for Gratton homes
Problem with your basin in Gratton? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An original basin worth saving
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Gratton
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area

Sink repair in Gratton without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for a crack near the taps and a chipped basin edge, in Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Gratton: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What affects the price in Gratton
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Gratton. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole basin
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
