Repairing versus replacing in Whiddon Down
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- No extra charge for your area
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Can pets and children be at home?

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we are called out for in Whiddon Down
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Common reasons people in Whiddon Down contact us are:
