How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Common questions in Skegness

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Skegness

  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Skegness. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
