Common questions in Ffarmers

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you work in Ffarmers?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ffarmers from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Repairing versus replacing in Ffarmers

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site

Can I fix it myself?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ffarmers. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SA19 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Common problems we fix in Ffarmers

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips around the rim

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
