Sink repair in Marston without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and chips from dropped toiletries, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Marston: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can pets and children be at home?

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.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Marston?

Prices start 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 SN10 postcode.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Marston, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Marston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Should you replace it?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
