Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Marston Magna
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marston Magna use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
FAQs for Marston Magna
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

What else we do in Marston Magna
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What affects the price in Marston Magna
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BA22 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
