Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longshaw use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

About our sink repair in Longshaw
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips around the rim and crazing in the glaze.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we are called out for in Longshaw
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips around the rim
- A chipped vanity basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One price list for the whole UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Longshaw. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your WN5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Longshaw
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
