How we handle sink repair in Gristhorpe
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and knocks from hair straighteners, we can help, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

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
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Gristhorpe
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins

Common problems we fix in Gristhorpe

What affects the price in Gristhorpe
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material

- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire basin
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Gristhorpe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Gristhorpe questions

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

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.

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you come to Gristhorpe?

Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
