Sink repair in Swinderby without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and a crazed, tired basin.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swinderby as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Swinderby questions
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Swinderby.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What areas do you cover?
All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Swinderby
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
