About our sink repair in Hopgrove
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks starting at the waste and a chipped basin edge.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

What else we do in Hopgrove
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your YO32 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Hopgrove: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you come to Hopgrove?
We do. Technicians travel to Hopgrove from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Don’t 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.
