Sink repair in Longrock

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longrock

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in Longrock

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Common questions in Longrock

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Are there extra charges for Longrock?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

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. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What we’re called out for in Longrock

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace in Longrock?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our pricing.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
