About our sink repair in Painter's Forstal
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries, in vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- Typically one visit, start to finish

Common questions in Painter's Forstal

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Common problems we fix in Painter's Forstal
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Common reasons people in Painter's Forstal contact us are:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site

Advice
What affects the price in Painter's Forstal
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ME13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Painter's Forstal
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

- Antique & period basins
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
