Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- No need to remove anything

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Longley questions
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Longley. The price depends on:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
