Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Longlands, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A period basin that needs restoring
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy 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.
Sink repair in Longlands, done in place
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are knocks from hair straighteners and a crack near the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Longlands and across Greater London.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Longlands. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace: which is better?

Common questions in Longlands
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
