What else we do in Old Knebworth
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Old Knebworth
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on the rim or front edge

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
