Sink Repair for Longman homes
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Longman, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A crack near the taps
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
About our sink repair in Longman
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and knocks from hair straighteners, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Do you need sink repair in Longman?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Longman. The price comes down to:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Highland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Covering Longman
Longman is about 1 mile north of Inverness, in Highland. From the centre of Longman to the outlying streets, we offer exactly the same service: a fixed price, a tidy visit and a guarantee. Longman is one of 253 places in Highland where we work.
We cover every part of IV1, IV3 and IV2. Local streets include Burnett Road, Longman Road and Stadium Road, all of which we cover. If you’re just outside Longman, we cover Millburn (1 mile south-east), Crown (1 mile south-east), Merkinch (1 mile west), Inverness (1 mile south) and Ballifeary (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also cover Nairn (15 miles north-east), Cradlehall (3 miles east), Dingwall (11 miles north-west), Alness (14 miles north), Invergordon (14 miles north) and Muir of Ord (9 miles west). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.
What’s near Longman
We visit homes around East Church, Millburn Academy and Cavell Gardens and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Inverness station, roughly 0.6 miles south of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Inverness Castle (0.8 miles south) and Royal Northern Infirmary (1.3 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Tomnahurich.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common questions in Longman
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you cover Longman?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Longman and the rest of Highland. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover the entire of Highland?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
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. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Longman?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
