Questions from Marholm
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you come to Marholm?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Marholm. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
