Landlords, agents and businesses in Longnor
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is normally 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. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Longnor questions
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Longnor. Prices don’t change with location.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Longnor
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
