What affects the price in Forthampton
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Forthampton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Questions from Forthampton
Do you come to Forthampton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Forthampton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Forthampton
If you manage property in Forthampton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that 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.
