DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Marston Bigot
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you work in Marston Bigot?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Marston Bigot and the rest of Somerset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What affects the price in Marston Bigot
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Marston Bigot. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start 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.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Related advice
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
