How we handle sink repair in Ridgewell
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for a crazed, tired basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
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.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Ridgewell and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price

DIY kit or professional 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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
