Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit

Skelton on Ure questions
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work in Skelton on Ure?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Skelton on Ure. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
