We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Foundry Town. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin 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.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally 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
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

FAQs for Foundry Town
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you come to Foundry Town?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Foundry Town from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Landlord and trade work in Foundry Town
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
