About our sink repair in Longbarn
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Whether it’s cracks starting at the waste and a chipped vanity basin, we can normally put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Longbarn as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Longbarn questions
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
