What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.
When to call us in Sibthorpe
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips around the rim
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
