How we handle sink repair in Grimston
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crazed, tired basin, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Grimston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
