About our sink repair in Swarcliffe
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We’re often asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and fine cracks across the glaze, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- A fixed quote before booking
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
FAQs for Swarcliffe
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Are there extra charges for Swarcliffe?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Landlord and trade work in Swarcliffe
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
