Sink repair in Swillington Common, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped toiletries and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Swillington Common
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover Swillington Common?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Swillington Common. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repairs by material
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.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
