About our sink repair in Skelmersdale
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We’re often asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a period basin that needs restoring, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Skelmersdale. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Skelmersdale. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Skelmersdale questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What areas do you cover?
All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Other services in Skelmersdale
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skelmersdale as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One price list for the entire UK

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
