Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Langwathby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

FAQs for Langwathby
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Langwathby
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
