DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Repair or replace in Long Row?

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Common problems we fix in Long Row
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips around the rim
- Crazing in the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A period basin that needs restoring
