Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why Ridgmont clients choose us

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Ridgmont

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Bedford Borough. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

How much does sink repair cost in Ridgmont?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A crack near the taps
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped vanity basin

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
