Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
