Sink repair for Marsh Farm homes

How we handle sink repair in Marsh Farm

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and chips on a built-in basin.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Marsh Farm: your questions answered

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

The whole UK, including all of Luton. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Period and antique

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

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Do you need sink repair in Marsh Farm?

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • An original basin worth saving

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repairing versus replacing in Marsh Farm

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
