Shaws of Darwen is one of the UK’s most prestigious fireclay sink manufacturers — producing handmade Belfast and butler sinks that are among the finest available. A Shaws sink is a significant investment, often costing £500–£2,000. When one chips, professional repair is the obvious choice.
About Shaws of Darwen Sinks
Shaws have been making fireclay sinks in Lancashire since 1897. Their sinks are hand-cast from fireclay and fired at high temperature, producing a dense, non-porous ceramic body that is exceptionally durable. They are available in white and cream and in a range of traditional and contemporary profiles.
Repairing a Shaws Sink
Shaws fireclay chips are repairable using specialist ceramic compounds. The challenge is matching the specific off-white tone of Shaws sinks, which has a distinctive warmth that distinguishes it from more blue-white ceramic sinks. An experienced technician with a comprehensive colour library can match Shaws finishes accurately.
Cost
A single chip repair on a Shaws sink typically costs £95–£175. A new Shaws sink costs £500–£2,000 plus significant plumbing costs. The repair option is almost always more economical. Send us photos for a fixed price.
