Sink repair in Ridge

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Sink repair in Ridge without replacing anything

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and a chipped vanity basin.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in Ridge

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are there extra charges for Ridge?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Landlord and trade work in Ridge

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ridge as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
