How we handle sink repair in Long Bredy
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are fine cracks across the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Long Bredy: your questions answered
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do you work in Long Bredy?
We do. We send a technician to Long Bredy for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Long Bredy. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
