For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longbar use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common questions in Longbar
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Longbar. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Longbar get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.
Advice
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
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.
