How we handle sink repair in Marden

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 work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and fine cracks across the glaze.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Marden. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Something in shot to show the size

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 price without visiting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Marden

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marden as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
