DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we handle sink repair in St Philip's Marsh
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Your questions about sink repair in St Philip's Marsh
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you come to St Philip's Marsh?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to St Philip's Marsh. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
