Sink repair in Swainsthorpe without replacing anything
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s chips from dropped toiletries and chips on a built-in basin, we can generally put it right, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Swainsthorpe
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Your questions about sink repair in Swainsthorpe
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Swainsthorpe?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Signs you need sink repair in Swainsthorpe
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Look out for these signs:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Before booking anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
