DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Do you need sink repair in Skirethorns?

What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.

Your questions about sink repair in Skirethorns
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you come to Skirethorns?
We do. We send a technician to Skirethorns for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What affects the price in Skirethorns
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Skirethorns. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote

- Details of any past repairs

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
