Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do the materials smell?

How much does sink repair cost in Long Line?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
If you’re in Long Line and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
