Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Sink repair in Gromford without replacing anything

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you are dealing with chips around the rim and chips from dropped toiletries, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gromford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

What affects the price in Gromford

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gromford. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, 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

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Gromford: your questions answered

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What does sink repair cost?
