How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

FAQs for Shipley
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How much does sink repair cost in Shipley?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Shipley?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
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?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
What affects the price in Shipley
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Shipley. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
