- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can

What affects the price in Throwley Forstal
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Throwley Forstal. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

More services for Throwley Forstal
Landlord and trade work in Throwley Forstal
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Throwley Forstal questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you come to Throwley Forstal?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Throwley Forstal for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
