Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Sink repair at your home in Swallowbeck
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include chips from dropped toiletries and chips on a built-in basin, across vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. 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.
Why book with us
- One price list for the whole UK

Swallowbeck questions
How do I get a price for sink repair in Swallowbeck?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?

Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Swallowbeck. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
