Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us

- We leave the room as we found it

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Longham questions
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What areas do you cover?
All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you cover Longham?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Longham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NR19 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
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.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Longham
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
Common problems we fix in Longham
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A chipped vanity basin
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks starting at the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
