Sink repair in Long Eaton, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and cracks starting at the waste, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Long Eaton
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Long Eaton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What affects the price in Long Eaton
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No extra charge for your area

Long Eaton questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
