Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Wester Pencaitland
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

We do. Repair technicians travel to Wester Pencaitland from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
