What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What affects the price in Longhouse
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Longhouse. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Longhouse. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Your questions about sink repair in Longhouse
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you work in Longhouse?
We do. We send a technician to Longhouse for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Longhouse
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Typically one visit, start to finish

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
