What affects the price in Sweethaws
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Other services in Sweethaws
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Do you need sink repair in Sweethaws?

Common reasons people in Sweethaws contact us include:
- A chipped vanity basin

- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Sweethaws questions
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
