Your questions about sink repair in Grindleforge
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Grindleforge?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Grindleforge. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
