Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What else we do in Brough
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
