Longham: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
Everywhere in the UK, Longham included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you work in Longham?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Longham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Longham
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

- Antique & period basins
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
