You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Common questions in Devoran
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Devoran. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Devoran. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally 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
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
