Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
About our sink repair in Shibden
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include chips around the rim and an antique basin with chips, across antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Shibden and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Shibden
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shibden
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Shibden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Shibden. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Common problems we fix in Shibden
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not 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 it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
