Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our pricing.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

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.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most clients in Marsh Common get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Marsh Common questions

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Marsh Common. Prices do not change with location.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Marsh Common?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BS35 postcode.
