Ridge questions
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you work in Ridge?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ridge from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Landlord and trade work in Ridge
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What affects the price in Ridge
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you’re in Ridge and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

- A basin cracked through and leaking

- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
