Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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 fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Questions from Somerford

What information do you need?

Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
