Sink repair in Skeldyke without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and crazing in the glaze, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How do I get a price for sink repair in Skeldyke?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Do you need sink repair in Skeldyke?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
