Walpole Marsh: your questions answered
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you work in Walpole Marsh?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Walpole Marsh from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Walpole Marsh?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PE14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we are called out for in Walpole Marsh
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips around the rim
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
