Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Repair or replace in Swaithe?

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we’re called out for in Swaithe
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crazed, tired basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
- How to care for the finish
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. 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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Common questions in Swaithe
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do you come to Swaithe?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Swaithe. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
How much does sink repair cost in Swaithe?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your S70 postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
