Questions from Swarthmoor
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Swarthmoor?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your LA12 postcode.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Should you replace it?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
If you are in Swarthmoor and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t overtighten taps
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Do you need sink repair in Swarthmoor?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Before booking anyone
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
