How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ulceby Skitter: your questions answered

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Do you cover Ulceby Skitter?

We do. We send a technician to Ulceby Skitter for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How much does sink repair cost in Ulceby Skitter?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
