What else we do in Fforest
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Fforest
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
FAQs for Fforest
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Repairing versus replacing in Fforest
Replacing a basin can mean 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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
See our prices page.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What affects the price in Fforest
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
If you are in Fforest and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Fforest, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
