Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your YO16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings

Grindale: your questions answered
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
