Sink repair in Easter Skeld, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We are frequently asked to fix a crack near the taps and chips on the rim or front edge, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit

Questions from Easter Skeld
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Other services in Easter Skeld
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Easter Skeld. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
