How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
When to call us in Old Clee
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Clee
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Clee use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
