Trusted sink repair in Grinshill

Sink repair in Grinshill without replacing anything

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an antique basin with chips and knocks from hair straighteners.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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.

Questions from Grinshill

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
