Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Holway, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

FAQs for Holway

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
