Common problems we fix in St Mark’s
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An original basin worth saving

- How your room will be protected
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
