Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Your questions about sink repair in New Earswick
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
