Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins

- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Swanwick
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- 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.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
FAQs for Lower Swanwick
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover Lower Swanwick?
We do. Technicians travel to Lower Swanwick from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
