What happens on the day

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 morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How do I book?

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Ribby

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

How we price sink repair

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ribby
