Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Sink repair in Marlpit Hill without replacing anything
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or front edge and fine cracks across the glaze, we can normally put it right, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What else we do in Marlpit Hill
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How the visit 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 morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Marlpit Hill questions
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do you cover Marlpit Hill?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Marlpit Hill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
