Sink repair in Longport, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and fine cracks across the glaze.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Longport questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you come to Longport?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Longport from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a repair better than a new one?

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, 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.
What affects the price in Longport
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Longport. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
