Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Repairs by material

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.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace in Sewardstone?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

Sewardstone questions

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
