Laufen bathroom installation in Gerrards Cross
Gerrards Cross sits in the Buckinghamshire commuter belt close to Beaconsfield and Chalfont St Peter, around 25 to 30 minutes from our Bracknell base, and the bathrooms we install there span a wide range of property types rather than one dominant style. That variety is exactly why we apply the same handling discipline to a Laufen installation whatever the house looks like: SaphirKeramik, the material behind Laufen's slim-rimmed basins and WC pans, is strong once it's fixed but far less forgiving of a knock in transit than a heavier conventional basin, so the sequencing and storage plan we build at survey doesn't change because a property happens to be larger or smaller. We fit Laufen sanitaryware fit-only across Gerrards Cross — you source the pieces, we strip out, first-fix, tile, plumb and fit them, from £3,500.
Laufen's SaphirKeramik, explained
Laufen is a Swiss sanitaryware manufacturer best known for SaphirKeramik, a ceramic composite that allows noticeably finer rims and sharper geometry on basins and WC pans than standard vitreous china can achieve. The washbasins, countertop basins and wall-hung pans we fit from Laufen's ranges in Gerrards Cross have a more sculptural, slimmer-edged look than a conventional ceramic suite as a result. We install these pieces as part of full bathroom refits, en-suite installations and cloakroom updates, working to whatever's been specified through a showroom or designer rather than selling the products ourselves.
Why handling matters more with this material
The thinness that gives SaphirKeramik its sharp rim profile is also the thing we plan hardest around on site. A Laufen basin or pan is less forgiving of a knock than a heavier, more conventional piece, so we build a delivery and storage sequence that keeps each piece out of the way of other trades until the moment it's actually fitted. The fixing itself — a concealed cistern frame for a wall-hung pan, or a support bracket for a countertop basin — follows familiar principles; it's the care taken between delivery and the final fix that changes with this brand.
Fitting Laufen in a Gerrards Cross property
Gerrards Cross is a genuinely commuter-belt village, and the properties we survey here vary considerably in size and layout rather than following one pattern. That means the access route, storage space and sequencing plan for a Laufen installation gets assessed on its own terms at every property, rather than assumed from the postcode — a narrower hallway or a tighter staircase changes how we schedule delivery and handling, regardless of how large the finished bathroom itself will be. We confirm all of this at the £125 survey, before any Laufen pieces are ordered.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. We fit Laufen sanitaryware fit-only across Gerrards Cross, working from products you've sourced through a showroom, designer or retailer.
SaphirKeramik is the ceramic composite Laufen uses to produce basins and WC pans with thinner rims and sharper geometry than standard vitreous china. It's strong once fitted but less forgiving of a knock in transit, so we handle it with extra care on site.
It affects how we plan access and storage at survey — a narrower hallway or staircase changes the delivery and handling sequence — but it doesn't change how the pieces are fixed once they're on site.
