Sink Repair for Fordyce homes
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins at your home in Fordyce, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, 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.
About our sink repair in Fordyce
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Typical jobs include an antique basin with chips and cracks starting at the waste, in enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

When to call us in Fordyce
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
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.
What affects the price in Fordyce
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
