Sink Repair in Forward Green
Fixed-price sink repair in Forward Green and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips around the rim
- An antique basin with chips
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Sink repair in Forward Green without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped basin edge.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we are called out for in Forward Green
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

FAQs for Forward Green
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit

- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
