Fordwich questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you work in Fordwich?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Fordwich. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Fordwich. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it

- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit

Advice
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
