Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
How we handle sink repair in Swithland
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for a chipped basin edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Swithland as everywhere else we work.

Your questions about sink repair in Swithland
Do you cover the entire of Leicestershire?
The whole UK, including all of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
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.
Are there extra charges for Swithland?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure 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.
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.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive

- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
