Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

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

Materials we work on in Marton

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Marton. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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 I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Marton: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
