Landlords, agents and businesses in Swinhill

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
For a price in Swinhill, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
