How we handle sink repair in Shorne Ridgeway
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an original basin worth saving.

FAQs for Shorne Ridgeway
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Shorne Ridgeway
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crack near the taps
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips around the rim
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- What prep work is covered
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.
