Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common questions in Sturmer
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
