How we handle sink repair in Potters Marston
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped vanity basin.
In a village like Potters Marston, older cottages sometimes have period basins and toilets, and those are worth keeping. We work around original marks where possible.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Potters Marston, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Replacement in Potters Marston means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
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 generally the cheaper route.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Your questions about sink repair in Potters Marston
Is it worth repairing old basins in a period home in Potters Marston?
In most cases: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. Send pictures and we will advise.
I let a flat near Narborough station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes, rental work is a big part of what we do, and a repair between tenants is usually quicker than replacing.
