The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Swanbridge

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

FAQs for Swanbridge

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Swanbridge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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.

Signs you need sink repair in Swanbridge

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • A crack near the taps
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
