Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Langworthy. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything

See our pricing.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Questions from Langworthy

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Langworthy included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

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

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are there extra charges for Langworthy?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

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

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Langworthy

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Langworthy. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Langworthy, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
