Franke is a Swiss kitchen brand and one of the most recognisable sink names in the UK market. Fragranite is their composite granite material — available in a range of colours that match the contemporary kitchen palette. When a Fragranite sink chips, professional repair restores it precisely in under 2 hours.

What Is Fragranite?

Fragranite is Franke’s proprietary composite material — granite particle aggregate bound in acrylic resin. It accounts for the majority of Franke’s UK sink sales and is available in their Kubus, Maris, Sirius, Aton and many other sink series.

Like all composite granite materials, Fragranite is hard, heat-resistant and non-porous. It chips under sufficient impact force, most commonly at the rim and around tap hole apertures.

Fragranite Colours We Repair

Franke produces Fragranite in a core colour range that has been relatively consistent over many years:

Fragranite Onyx (Black) — the most popular current Fragranite colour. Deep gloss-black composite. Very repairable.
Fragranite Polar White — clean white composite. Straightforward to match.
Fragranite Umbra — warm grey-brown tone. Good match achievable.
Fragranite Champagne — warm beige-gold. Matchable.
Fragranite Coffee — medium brown. Matchable.
Fragranite Sand Grey — neutral warm grey. Straightforward repair.

For discontinued Fragranite colours, we match from the physical colour — send photos and we will confirm.

Where Do Fragranite Sinks Chip?

Front rim — items dropped into the sink at the front edge. The most common location.
Tap hole apertures — chips where taps have been installed or changed. Particularly common on 1.5-bowl sinks where the smaller bowl has a narrow section between the bowl and the drainer.
Drainer surface — chips on the raised drainer ribs from heavy pans or utensils.

Cost

Single chip repair: £85–£165
2–3 chips in one visit: £155–£265
Tap hole damage: £95–£175

New Franke Fragranite sinks cost £180–£600 depending on the model. Add fitting costs of £100–£250. Total replacement: £280–£850. A chip repair saves 80–90%.

Frequently Asked Questions

My Fragranite has a slightly rough texture — will the repair match it?
Yes. Fragranite’s slightly textured surface is one of its distinctive characteristics and our technicians replicate this texture in the repair finish.
The chip is quite large — at what size does repair become impractical?
Most Fragranite chips are repairable regardless of size. Very large damage (more than 40mm across) may require a more extended repair process. Send photos for an honest assessment.
