How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin

Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
