What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Swinton. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Swinton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash

Should you replace it?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Swinton
