Your questions about sink repair in Longlevens
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

Related advice
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
