Emley questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you come to Emley?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Emley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kirklees, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
About our sink repair in Emley
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about an original basin worth saving and a crack near the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Emley
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
