Sink repair at your home in Ravenstone
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about knocks from hair straighteners and chips on a built-in basin.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repairing versus replacing in Ravenstone
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Ravenstone questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Ravenstone is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Signs you need sink repair in Ravenstone
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An original basin worth saving
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Ravenstone
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Ravenstone, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.

How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
