DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
New Marston questions
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
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.
Common problems we fix in New Marston
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips around the rim
- A period basin that needs restoring

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
