Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Marshchapel questions
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Marshchapel and the rest of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
