Sink Repair for Fordham Heath homes

- Repairs from £95
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped vanity basin
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Sink repair in Fordham Heath, done in place
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include an original basin worth saving and chips from dropped toiletries, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When to call us in Fordham Heath
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on the rim or front edge

Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fordham Heath. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
If you are in Fordham Heath and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
