How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. 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.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Skinningrove. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Skinningrove, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should I try a DIY kit 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Skinningrove questions
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
