When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Langbank. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

Landlords, agents and businesses in Langbank

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.
