Sink Repair for Longsdon homes
We travel to Longsdon for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A chipped basin edge
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
About our sink repair in Longsdon
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Common call-outs are for cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips from dropped toiletries, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Longsdon
Do you cover Longsdon?
We do. We send a technician to Longsdon for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Landlord and trade work in Longsdon
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
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.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ST9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
