Sink & basin repair in Grendon, Warwickshire

- Repairs from £95

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most clients in Grendon get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Signs you need sink repair in Grendon
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Crazing in the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips around the rim
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
