Sink repair at your home in Longcot
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack near the taps and a period basin that needs restoring.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Longcot. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
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
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
