About our sink repair in Furnace Wood
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge, across antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Somewhere like Furnace Wood, you may still have period sanitaryware, which are worth repairing rather than replacing. We work around original marks where possible.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Furnace Wood and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

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.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used. Somewhere as small as Furnace Wood, access is usually the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. In an older home in a village like Furnace Wood, replacing a basin can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Furnace Wood, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Common problems we fix in Furnace Wood
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
