Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Longcroft: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Longcroft. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
Most customers in Longcroft get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longcroft as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Repairing versus replacing in Longcroft
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
