Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What affects the price in Ragdale
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. 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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Ragdale
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you come to Ragdale?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Ragdale and the rest of Leicestershire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How much does sink repair cost in Ragdale?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
