Sink repair in Marlborough

Sink repair at your home in Marlborough

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for chips around the rim and chips on a built-in basin, in enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need sink repair in Marlborough

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips around the rim
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • An original basin worth saving

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site

Marlborough questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marlborough as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wiltshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
