DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common problems we fix in Marlesford
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- How to care for the finish
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Marlesford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
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.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, 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
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Marlesford questions
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Marlesford?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your IP13 postcode.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you work in Marlesford?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Marlesford and the rest of Suffolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
