Our hiring checklist

About our sink repair in Marston

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and a chipped basin edge.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Marston and across Staffordshire.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Common questions in Marston

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Marston is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Marston

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business

For landlords and businesses

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

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Staffordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.
