Franke is one of the most popular sink brands in UK kitchens — their Fragranite composite and stainless steel ranges are fitted in thousands of homes every year. But even a premium sink can get chipped, scratched or marked, and the cost of a full replacement is significant. This guide explains your repair options when a Franke sink gets damaged.
Franke Fragranite Sink Repair
Franke’s Fragranite material is an 80% granite composite — extremely hard-wearing, but not completely chip-proof. Chips typically occur on the basin rim, around the bowl edge, or near the waste outlet. The damage is most visible on lighter coloured Fragranite sinks (white, cream, sand) where the exposed sub-material contrasts with the surface colour.
What Can Be Repaired on Fragranite?
- Chips to the bowl rim or edge
- Chips near the waste or overflow
- Scratches and scuff marks on the basin floor
- Minor cracks in the bowl surface
- Colour fading or discolouration patches
Professional repairs use composite resins mixed and tinted to match the Fragranite colour exactly. The repair is then cured, sanded and polished — producing a result that’s invisible under normal conditions.
Franke Stainless Steel Sink Repair
Stainless steel sinks from Franke are robust, but they suffer from scratching, denting, pitting and — where the protective surface layer is compromised — localised staining. Scratches on brushed stainless steel are less visible than on polished finishes and can often be re-blended to restore a consistent appearance. Dents in the basin floor are harder to repair invisibly but can be significantly reduced.
Why Choose Repair Over Replacement?
- A new Franke Fragranite sink costs £200–£600 before fitting costs
- Sink replacement requires disconnecting plumbing, cutting out the old sink and resealing — a half-day job
- Surface repair takes one to two hours and leaves the kitchen fully functional
- Professional repair costs a fraction of sink replacement
