Sink repair in Swanley, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and fine cracks across the glaze.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Swanley questions
Do you work in Swanley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Swanley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Does someone need to be in?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

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 over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When to call us in Swanley
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An antique basin with chips

What affects the price in Swanley
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Swanley. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
