How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common questions in Skellingthorpe
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Are there extra charges for Skellingthorpe?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
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 and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Signs you need sink repair in Skellingthorpe
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

- An original basin worth saving
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
