Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What we’re called out for in Digby
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Common questions in Digby
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace in Digby?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Digby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One price list for the whole UK
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Digby, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Digby
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
