How we handle sink repair in Rampside

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include damage to a basin in a vanity unit and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Rampside

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you come to Rampside?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Rampside and the rest of Cumbria. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Rampside

  • Enamelled basins

Repairing versus replacing in Rampside

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Rampside. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Rampside, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in Rampside

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
