Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What else we do in Philpstoun
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
