Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
