Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Sink repair in Akroydon, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We’re often asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, in Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Calderdale.

FAQs for Akroydon
Do you cover Akroydon?
We do. We send a technician to Akroydon for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
