How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What we’re called out for in Swinithwaite

Look out for any of the following:
- A crazed, tired basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin

Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Swinithwaite: your questions answered
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I add another job to the visit?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Landlord and trade work in Swinithwaite
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
