Sink repair for Ridgewood homes

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Ridgewood

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ridgewood as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Ridgewood: your questions answered

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

What happens next?

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

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Ridgewood. Prices do not change with location.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
