Sink repair in Marchamley Wood

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Marchamley Wood questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Marchamley Wood.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do you work in Marchamley Wood?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Marchamley Wood and the rest of Shropshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Marchamley Wood?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Marchamley Wood

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

  • Where you are, by postcode

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Marchamley Wood, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
