Sink repair across Ford and nearby, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crack near the taps
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we handle sink repair in Ford
We match the glaze as well as the colour. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are knocks from hair straighteners and an antique basin with chips.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ford. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Ford, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Questions from Ford
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Ford is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
