Questions from Skirlaugh
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Are there extra charges for Skirlaugh?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repairing versus replacing in Skirlaugh
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Fixed prices from your pictures

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skirlaugh use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Riding of Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Skirlaugh
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HU11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
