When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Sink repair in Fordham, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you are dealing with a chipped vanity basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole basin
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CB7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Across the UK, and that includes Fordham. Our prices are the same everywhere.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What does sink repair cost?

Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you need sink repair in Fordham?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crazed, tired basin

Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
