What else we do in Efailnewydd
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we are called out for in Efailnewydd
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
