Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique

Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Swainby. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Swainby
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swainby as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Questions from Swainby
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Swainby and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
The process
Your technician turns 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 we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
