Sink repair for Marsh Baldon homes

About our sink repair in Marsh Baldon

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include cracks starting at the waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry

Common questions in Marsh Baldon

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens after I send photos?

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can landlords book you?

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Marsh Baldon

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote.
