Sink repair in Longburton without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped toiletries and an antique basin with chips, in antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longburton
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Longburton
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- A fixed quote before you book
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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 a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.

Your questions about sink repair in Longburton
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Longburton?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your DT9 postcode.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you come to Longburton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Longburton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
