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. If you’re dealing with a chipped basin edge and fine cracks across the glaze, we can help, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins alike.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When to call us in Skegby
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Skegby. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Skegby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
