DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Marlbrook
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Marlbrook, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Signs you need sink repair in Marlbrook
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
- A crack near the taps

Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
