Sink repair in Grove Hill without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We’re frequently asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we are called out for in Grove Hill
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An antique basin with chips
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Grove Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BN27 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Grove Hill
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
