About our sink repair in Skinners Green

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped basin edge.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Skinners Green. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we’re called out for in Skinners Green

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • When it can be used again

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Skinners Green questions

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of West Berkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
