What else we do in Langham
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Langham questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Langham is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Langham
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Langham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Langham
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to look after the finish
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
