Sink repair in Longbyre without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s chips on a built-in basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can help.

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Longbyre. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What affects the price in Longbyre
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Questions from Longbyre
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Longbyre?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
