What else we do in Shibden Dale
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Related advice
Do you need sink repair in Shibden Dale?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips around the rim
- Crazing in the glaze
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work

Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Shibden Dale: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do you cover Shibden Dale?
We do. We send a technician to Shibden Dale for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
