About our sink repair in Forest Hill
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Forest Hill and across Oxfordshire.

FAQs for Forest Hill
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any details about the material

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
