Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Longniddry. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When to call us in Longniddry
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Longniddry questions
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
How much does sink repair cost in Longniddry?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
