Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Ringshall questions

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

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

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When to call us in Ringshall

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Ringshall

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Ringshall, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
