Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
