Sink repair in Longformacus, done in place
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s a crack near the taps and fine cracks across the glaze, we can usually put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Do you need sink repair in Longformacus?
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- How to look after the finish
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Do you cover the whole of the Scottish Borders?
All of the Scottish Borders, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you 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 we leave the room as we found it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
