Sink repair in Force Green, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We are frequently asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and chips on the rim or front edge, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Force Green

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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

What affects the price in Force Green

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Force Green. What changes the price is:

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

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
