Sink repair in Skidbrooke North End, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for a crazed, tired basin and cracks starting at the waste, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
What affects the price in Skidbrooke North End
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Common questions in Skidbrooke North End
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
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.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
