Common questions in Ryecroft
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you come to Ryecroft?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ryecroft from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What affects the price in Ryecroft
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ryecroft. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
