How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What we are called out for in Swillbrook
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 picture if you notice any of these:
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips around the rim
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Swillbrook questions
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
