Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Marshgate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How we handle sink repair in Marshgate
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. Whether it’s damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and fine cracks across the glaze, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Marshgate and across Cornwall.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What else we do in Marshgate
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage

Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Marshgate
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Marshgate and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
