How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Marley Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
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’ll reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marley Hill as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Marley Hill: your questions answered
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Gateshead, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
