DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Questions from Longhoughton
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Longhoughton. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Longhoughton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longhoughton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE66 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
