Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips around the rim and an original basin worth saving.

Common questions in Marshalswick
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Marshalswick. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole basin
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Marshalswick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
