Sink repair in Swardeston, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include chips from dropped toiletries and chips on the rim or front edge, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Signs you need sink repair in Swardeston
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips around the rim
- A crazed, tired basin
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to care for the finish
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
