Ramsden Heath questions

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Will you remove the sink?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CM11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Landlord and trade work in Ramsden Heath

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

What we are called out for in Ramsden Heath

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on a built-in basin

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
