What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
