Swan Street questions
Will you travel to Swan Street?
Yes, villages and hamlets are part of our area.
Can you restore the original basins in an older house in Swan Street?
Generally: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. Send pictures and we will advise.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Swan Street?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
How we handle sink repair in Swan Street
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. If you are dealing with a crack near the taps and crazing in the glaze, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
For a rural address like Swan Street, tell us about access and parking, and we’ll plan the visit around it.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we’re called out for in Swan Street
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped vanity basin
We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you look after a building such as Chappel Church of England Controlled Primary School, toilets and washrooms can be repaired in place too.

- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours. Somewhere as small as Swan Street, access is generally the main thing to plan. Once we’re there, the sink repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- 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.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Swan Street. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes cost nothing and you are under no obligation.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. For a rural home like those around Swan Street, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Everything repaired in place
- A fixed quote before booking
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
