Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ripley. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole basin
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BH23 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Ripley: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How much does sink repair cost in Ripley?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are there extra charges for Ripley?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Landlord and trade work in Ripley
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ripley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
