Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Rigside. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.

When to call us in Rigside
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crazed, tired basin
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Rigside, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rigside use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
