Fforestfach questions
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Swansea. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Signs you need sink repair in Fforestfach
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- A crack near the taps
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips around the rim
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Fforestfach. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

- A basin that moves on its brackets

What else we do in Fforestfach
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
