Sink repair for Ruddington homes

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Sink repair in Ruddington, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crack near the taps.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ruddington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What we are called out for in Ruddington

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A crazed, tired basin

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Ruddington: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
