Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in The Heath.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
