How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Longframlington. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Do you need sink repair in Longframlington?
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips around the rim
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What to look for in a quote

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longframlington
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
