Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Do you need sink repair in Ford?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips around the rim
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Ford, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
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.
Your questions about sink repair in Ford
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
