How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Common questions in Swift's Green

How much does sink repair cost in Swift's Green?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you come to Swift's Green?

We do. We send a technician to Swift's Green for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Common problems we fix in Swift's Green

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Repairing versus replacing in Swift's Green

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Swift's Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Swift's Green

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
