Your questions about sink repair in Longmorn
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
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.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Are there extra charges for Longmorn?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you cover the entire of Moray?
We cover the whole UK, including Longmorn and the rest of Moray. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

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 polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
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, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
