Ravensden: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
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.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Ravensden.
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.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
What your basin is made of matters
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. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ravensden use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Ravensden, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When to call us in Ravensden
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Crazing in the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
