When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Sink repair in Sweffling without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about knocks from hair straighteners and chips on a built-in basin.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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 generally be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour-matched on site
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
Go 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we’re called out for in Sweffling
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
