Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Forest Row. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Forest Row. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Common problems we fix in Forest Row
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on a built-in basin
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Forest Row: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across East Sussex.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
