Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
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.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
