Sink repair in Cock Marling without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and knocks from hair straighteners.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When to call us in Cock Marling
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A period basin that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job

- What protection goes down before work starts
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- 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.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What affects the price in Cock Marling
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
