How we handle sink repair in Marston

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a period basin that needs restoring and a crack near the taps.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Marston questions

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise 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.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Marston

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Marston

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marston use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Signs you need sink repair in Marston

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips around the rim

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
