DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How we handle sink repair in Low Newton-by-the-Sea
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped basin edge, we can generally put it right.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Advice
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
