About our sink repair in Forder
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are crazing in the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Forder: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Forder.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Forder?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Forder. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What we are called out for in Forder
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
