DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 generally the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Shore
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Calderdale and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Other services in Shore
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Shore questions
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you cover the whole of Calderdale?
All of Calderdale, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Common problems we fix in Shore
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Crazing in the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on a built-in basin

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
