What your basin is made of matters

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
About our sink repair in Swallow
From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on

Swallow questions
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Swallow is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swallow as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
