What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Repairing versus replacing in Swanpool
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
