What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace in Furnace?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

FAQs for Furnace
Do you work in Furnace?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Furnace from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
