Sink repair at your home in Swanland
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about crazing in the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring.
Around Swanland, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, some with long-standing suites. If a piece is chipped, repairing it keeps the suite together.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repair or replace in Swanland?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. In a smaller place like Swanland, getting trades out for a full replacement can take time to arrange. A repair needs just one visit.
Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Common problems we fix in Swanland
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you care for a building such as Swanland Primary School, toilets and washrooms can be repaired in place too.

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work. In a smaller place like Swanland, parking is rarely a problem. If you are down a lane or a long drive, tell us when you book and we’ll plan for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes cost nothing and you’re under no obligation.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
