Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
When to call us in Long Clawson
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A crazed, tired basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Should you replace it?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Long Clawson. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What affects the price in Long Clawson
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Long Clawson. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LE14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Long Clawson
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Long Clawson: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
