Sink repair at your home in Swinton
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you are dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can generally put it right, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Swinton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- Vanity unit basins

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairing versus replacing in Swinton
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What affects the price in Swinton
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Swinton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
