Your questions about sink repair in Grimscote
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How much does sink repair cost in Grimscote?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Signs you need sink repair in Grimscote
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to look after the finish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grimscote as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
