Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks

- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
