If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Longstone is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Common problems we fix in Longstone
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- A crack near the taps
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A chipped basin edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- When it can be used again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
