How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When to call us in Longborough
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips around the rim
- A period basin that needs restoring

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Questions from Longborough
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you work in Longborough?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Longborough and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?
We cover the entire UK, including Longborough and the rest of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What affects the price in Longborough
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Longborough and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

What else we do in Longborough
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longborough use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
