Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
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.

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s cracks starting at the waste and a crazed, tired basin, we can help.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Marston. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Marston questions
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Marston?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NG32 postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Marston
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A crack near the taps
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price covers travel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
