FAQs for Forestside
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What we’re called out for in Forestside

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips on a built-in basin

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hampshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Repairing versus replacing in Forestside
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
