What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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

Sink repair in Marsh, done in place

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks starting at the waste and fine cracks across the glaze.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Marsh. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Common questions in Marsh

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
