Sink repair in Swinefleet, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for a chipped basin edge and a crazed, tired basin, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about sink repair in Swinefleet

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Swinefleet, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Landlord and trade work in Swinefleet

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swinefleet as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
