DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
