What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Sink repair in Skeeby, done in place
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. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are a crazed, tired basin and a crack near the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Skeeby and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What else we do in Skeeby
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we are called out for in Skeeby
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks starting at the waste
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Skeeby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Skeeby: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover Skeeby?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Skeeby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
