Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Common problems we fix in Trekenning
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A crack near the taps
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips around the rim
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

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, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
