Landlord and trade work in Swine
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swine use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace in Swine?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price

Advice
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
