Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
FAQs for Daw's House
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
We cover the whole UK, including Daw's House and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you work in Daw's House?
We do. Technicians travel to Daw's House from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
