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
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Sink repair in Longley without replacing anything
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include an antique basin with chips and fine cracks across the glaze, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longley
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Should you replace it?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
