How we handle sink repair in Longstock
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and crazing in the glaze.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When to call us in Longstock
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips around the rim
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Longstock: your questions answered
Do you cover Longstock?
We do. We send a technician to Longstock for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How much does sink repair cost in Longstock?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SO20 postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
Most customers in Longstock get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
