Advice
What we’re called out for in New Swannington
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped vanity basin
- An antique basin with chips
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
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 photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Landlord and trade work in New Swannington
If you manage property in New Swannington, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
