Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Do you need sink repair in Georgetown?

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A crack near the taps
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in Georgetown

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
