DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What we are called out for in Marchwood
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A chipped vanity basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crazed, tired basin
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- How to look after the finish
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Marchwood

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
