About our sink repair in Greystoke
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We are often asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and a crack near the taps, in vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Greystoke: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlord and trade work in Greystoke
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Greystoke use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
