Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Longwick

Your questions about sink repair in Longwick
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
