Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
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.

- Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
