What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TQ13 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Ideford: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Ideford get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
