About our sink repair in Ripley

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Your questions about sink repair in Ripley

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you come to Ripley?

We do. We send a technician to Ripley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GU23 postcode.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Common problems we fix in Ripley

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A crack near the taps
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Ripley

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repairing versus replacing in Ripley

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
