What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Longnor questions
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
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.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.
