Frequently asked

Can a cracked pan be repaired?

Not dependably where it holds water; a cracked pan is a replacement.

What causes cracks?

Over-tightened fixings, impact, or thermal shock from very hot water in a cold basin.

Want the awkward part looked at first?

Access, existing pipework and floor build-up are the things that change a plan. Those get checked before anything is promised.
