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 work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Forgeside: your questions answered
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Torfaen. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
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.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Forgeside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Forgeside
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
