DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Marston on Dove
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips around the rim
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crack near the taps
- An antique basin with chips
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
