For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Common problems we fix in Ford

Questions from Ford
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work in Ford?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Repair or replace in Ford?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
