Trusted sink repair in Swan Bottom

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Sink repair in Swan Bottom, done in place

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include an original basin worth saving and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, across Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Swan Bottom questions

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Are there extra charges for Swan Bottom?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Swan Bottom. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Swan Bottom

  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we are called out for in Swan Bottom

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A crazed, tired basin

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price covers travel

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
