Swanton questions
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks

Materials we work on in Swanton

When to call us in Swanton
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add 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.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
