Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
