Sink repair in Forton without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Forton questions
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How much does sink repair cost in Forton?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TF10 postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What affects the price in Forton
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
If you’re in Forton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
