Common questions in Shelley Woodhouse
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kirklees.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid abrasive pads

- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
