Common questions in Swingfield Minnis

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swingfield Minnis use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Signs you need sink repair in Swingfield Minnis

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
