What affects the price in Sewards End
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What does sink repair cost?
