Sink & basin repair in Skelton, East Riding of Yorkshire
Fixed-price sink repair in Skelton and the surrounding area, normally in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Skelton. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
Take a look at our prices page.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Skelton questions

Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
