- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
If you manage property in Hafod, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
