Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
