What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Swannington. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you’re in Swannington and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What we are called out for in Swannington
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
- An antique basin with chips
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- How to care for the finish
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Swannington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Same prices wherever you are

Common questions in Swannington
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Swannington.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Swannington is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are there extra charges for Swannington?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
