About our sink repair in Swinton
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and a crack near the taps, we can normally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing

Swinton questions
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you work in Swinton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Swinton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Swinton. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
