What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

Do you need sink repair in Ridgeway?

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins

Ridgeway questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
