About our sink repair in Gremista
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and an original basin worth saving, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Advice
Your questions about sink repair in Gremista
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do you cover the entire of the Shetland Islands?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Gremista. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you work in Gremista?
We do. We send a technician to Gremista for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
