Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Sink repair at your home in Ford
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Ford: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
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 cover the whole of Wiltshire?
We work UK-wide, so Ford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Landlord and trade work in Ford
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
