How we handle sink repair in Marehill
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are a crack near the taps and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

Marehill: your questions answered
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Marehill
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Repairing versus replacing in Marehill
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Marehill, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
