Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Questions from Marcroes
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the whole of the Vale of Glamorgan?
The entire UK, including all of the Vale of Glamorgan. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are there extra charges for Marcroes?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Marcroes. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Marcroes. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Marcroes, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
