Sink repair at your home in Trimdon Grange
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for a chipped basin edge and an original basin worth saving, across enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What affects the price in Trimdon Grange
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Trimdon Grange. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Trimdon Grange, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Common questions in Trimdon Grange
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
