Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not overtighten taps

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.

Related advice

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What affects the price in Hareplain

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
