About our sink repair in Ridley
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about knocks from hair straighteners and chips on a built-in basin.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
What affects the price in Ridley

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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’ll get a fixed figure.
Why Ridley customers choose us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A fixed quote before you book
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ridley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What happens after I send photos?

Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Common problems we fix in Ridley

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
