Sink repair in Marsh Benham

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

10 questions to ask before booking

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
