Sink repair in Ridgeway, done in place

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s chips on a built-in basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can help, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Your questions about sink repair in Ridgeway

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you come to Ridgeway?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Ridgeway from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
