Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:

- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
