FAQs for Swaffham
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Repair or replace in Swaffham?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Swaffham
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Crazing in the glaze
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price covers travel
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
