Sink repair in Saltmarsh, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s cracks starting at the waste and chips on the rim or front edge, we can typically put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins alike.

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What affects the price in Saltmarsh
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Saltmarsh. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace in Saltmarsh?

The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
