The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Ravenswood

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you come to Ravenswood?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ravenswood for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Repair or replace in Ravenswood?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ravenswood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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