What affects the price in Langley Mill
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
