About our sink repair in Forton
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste, in vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Common problems we fix in Forton
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on a built-in basin

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Forton
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry

FAQs for Forton
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
