Sink repair in Longdowns, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We’re frequently asked to fix a crazed, tired basin and cracks starting at the waste, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
