DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings

Period and antique

Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
