DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How we handle sink repair in Swinton

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. If you’re dealing with an original basin worth saving and a crazed, tired basin, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Questions from Swinton

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you cover the entire of Glasgow?

The entire UK, including all of Glasgow. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you come to Swinton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Swinton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Swinton customers choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business

See our pricing.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Swinton
