Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
