Advice
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Do you need sink repair in Leeholme?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crazed, tired basin
