Sink repair in Guy's Marsh

Sink repair in Guy's Marsh without replacing anything

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s cracks starting at the waste and an original basin worth saving, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Guy's Marsh

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Guy's Marsh, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

FAQs for Guy's Marsh

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Guy's Marsh

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crazed, tired basin

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
