Sink Repair in Canon's Marsh
Problem with your basin in Canon's Marsh? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Sink repair at your home in Canon's Marsh
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are knocks from hair straighteners and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Canon's Marsh
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bristol and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When to call us in Canon's Marsh
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
