Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
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.

Griffydam: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.

What else we do in Griffydam
What affects the price in Griffydam
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire basin
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
