Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

FAQs for Blackshaw Head
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Calderdale, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Blackshaw Head. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Blackshaw Head, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Blackshaw Head. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- One visit for most repairs
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
See our prices page.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
