Your questions about sink repair in Shipley Bridge
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shipley Bridge
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
