Sink Repair in Marlingford

- Repairs from £95
- A crack near the taps
- Chips around the rim
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we handle sink repair in Marlingford
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and cracks starting at the waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When to call us in Marlingford
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.
