Advice
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
