How we handle sink repair in Longlane
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips on the rim or front edge.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Advice
Longlane: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover the whole of West Berkshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Longlane and the rest of West Berkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
