What affects the price in Old Forge
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Old Forge. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colour-matched on site
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
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.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
