About our sink repair in Swavesey
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crazed, tired basin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Swavesey
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Swavesey, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Your questions about sink repair in Swavesey
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How much does sink repair cost in Swavesey?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Are there extra charges for Swavesey?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we are called out for in Swavesey
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
