How we handle sink repair in Skerne
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you’re dealing with cracks starting at the waste and crazing in the glaze, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skerne as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
