Sink repair at your home in Longwood
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about chips on a built-in basin and chips on the rim or front edge.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Do you need sink repair in Longwood?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repairing versus replacing in Longwood
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

FAQs for Longwood
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Everywhere in the UK, Longwood included. Travel is included in the price.
