Gringley on the Hill questions

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

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 book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Gringley on the Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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.

  2. We degrease and key the damage.

  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.
