Questions from Ridgeway
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
When to call us in Ridgeway
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
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.
