DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Landlord and trade work in Longdon
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What affects the price in Longdon
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Longdon. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
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’ll get a fixed figure back.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
