Ringwell: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you work in Ringwell?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ringwell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire basin
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Ringwell, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
