Advice
FAQs for Doxey
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Common problems we fix in Doxey
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks starting at the waste
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Doxey
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Doxey. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
