About our sink repair in Long Ditton
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for an original basin worth saving and fine cracks across the glaze, across enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Long Ditton
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Long Ditton. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire basin
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

FAQs for Long Ditton
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
