Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
