Sink repair in Longton, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you’re dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
FAQs for Longton
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, 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.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work in Longton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Longton and the rest of Staffordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t overtighten taps
Use gentle 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.
When to call us in Longton
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An original basin worth saving
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips around the rim
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
