Whiddon questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work in Whiddon?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Whiddon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
