What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

How we handle sink repair in Ridge

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about an antique basin with chips and a chipped vanity basin.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Ridge and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Ridge?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Read our prices page.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole basin

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Ridge, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
