Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

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

FAQs for Nether Heage

How much does sink repair cost in Nether Heage?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
