About our sink repair in Langley
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and chips on a built-in basin.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SK11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we’re called out for in Langley
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crazed, tired basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks starting at the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets

Langley: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. 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 the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
