Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
