How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Sink repair in Longtown without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We’re frequently asked to fix chips around the rim and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Longtown questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you come to Longtown?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Longtown for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you need sink repair in Longtown?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips around the rim
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is matched
- Who will actually do the work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
