Need sink repair in The Marsh?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How we handle sink repair in The Marsh

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. Whether it’s crazing in the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can normally put it right.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for The Marsh

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are there extra charges for The Marsh?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SA61 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in The Marsh

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • An original basin worth saving

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
