We have several Shaws Belfast sinks and love them.
We live in NZ and have several Shaws Belfast sinks, purchased locally. Recently I noticed the chrome finish on one of the overflow covers was coming away. Unable to source just the overflow cover in NZ, I contacted Shaws in Lancashire. Sandra was extremely helpful and offered to post the cap free of charge. Just wow - amazing customer service.

Dear Heather, Thank you for taking the time to post a Trustpilot review of Shaws and for your kind comments. We're delighted to hear that you have a small collection of our sinks down there in New Zealand! Hopefully you receive the new cover fairly soon. You don't want one of your sinks letting the others down. Please feel free to contact our customer services team in Darwen at any point in the future if you need further advice or assistance.
Shocking aftercare!!!
Bought an 800 bow front butler sink from an authorised dealer.
Within a week the edge of the waste strainer basket went rusty!!
Contacted Shaws directly and eventually got a response asking what chemicals we had used in the sink.
Replied saying none as the sink was brand new!!
They replied saying contact the dealer for a replacement.
We did. Several times now!!! Still no replacement strainer despite the dealer saying that they have continued to ask Shaws for a replacement!
It has been MONTHS now and no sign of a replacement.
Absolutely shocking after sales service so if you can find similar sinks from another supplier I recommend you buy from them and not Shaws.
I would love to offer constructive advice but good customer service is surely obvious??!
UPDATE: I have now received the replacement thank you.

Dear Mr Bradford, thank you for taking the time to write - we do appreciate all feedback, whether it is positive or negative. Apologies for the delay in acknowledging your review, but hopefully you have now received a replacement basket strainer directly from us. We're looking into where the communication was lost between your retailer and ourselves. Normally it is a straightforward process to resolve a problem like this, but it clearly wasn't in your case, and we do apologise for the delay and inconvenience this has caused. We hope your new Shaws sink - with the new basket strainer - gives you satisfaction.

We bought a double sink from Shaws thinking that it would be hardwearing. Two years in normal use it has chipped and is quite dull. This is not a quality product worthy of the price tag. Customer service is abysmal. When we enquired about repair they could not have been less interested. Avoid

Dear Mr Winham, Thank you for taking the time to write a review of Shaws. We do appreciate all feedback, positive or negative. Please accept our apologies for your poor experience. We don't have your contact details, so we can't call you or email directly, but we would welcome an opportunity to offer advice. Our customer service team is based at the factory in Darwen, and can be reached on 01254 775111.
Very poor customer service
Very poor customer service. You'd think that paying over 500 quid for a sink, you'd get a bit more communication from them with updates and lead times. At check out, you're expected to call them to find out what lead time there is, I ordered after closing hours on the web, sales order confirmation has little to no information regarding lead times, delivery etc. Why as a paying customer should I have to be chasing them? No emails or anything for 5 weeks until I called for an update, not even a courtesy email to say we have your order, lead time is xxxx, delivery expected xxxx, no tracking information.. Very snooty customer service. I also had to go back on the website to download details of an item, you're forced to provide an email address, and since then, been inundated with spam emails from companies I've never heard of, can only assume they are selling data too. I'd stay clear of this company, not the only sink supplier.

Dear Julian, Thank you for taking the time to feedback on Shaws, both here and on Google. We appreciate all comments, positive or negative, and use these to improve our service. We are sorry that you have had a disappointing experience. To respond to your specific points, you should have received an email from us following your online order, so we can only apologise that it didn't reach you. Our Customer Service team in Lancashire do genuinely try to be helpful, as most of the feedback here on Trustpilot testifies, but we're sorry that wasn't your experience. Shaws sinks are handmade to order at our own factory. Some product leadtimes are longer than we would like, but we are working very hard to reduce them. Our apologies, once again, that we didn't communicate this to you at an early stage. Finally, we can assure you that we never sell customer data to any third party, and treat data security very seriously.
Great customer service
Bought a house that had a wonderful Shaws kitchen sink. Unfortunately the sink strainer had been damaged by previous owners and i needed a replacement. Shaws’ Customer service was prompt and unbelievably generous in finding a solution for me. Replacement part arrived so quickly and I’m really really happy, as those little features make the sinks so beautiful. I’m honestly really thrilled and it would definitely make me want to use this company in the future if I needed a new sink or was planning a new kitchen.

Just a quick note to say thank you for taking the time to post feedback of Shaws on Trustpilot. As a small British manufacturer we do appreciate every review. A Shaws sink always looks better with a shiny Shaws basket strainer! If you plan a new kitchen you can hopefully keep the same sink! We know of owners who are using a sink that has been in the family for more than 100 years. Happy Easter!
Removal of marks left by builders
After our builders departed we were left with some marks on the sinks which the cleaner was unable to remove after multiple attempts with her regular cleaning products. A quick call to Shaws, no waiting on hold, and Christina advised us how to get them off (Bar Keeper's Friend powder mixed into a paste) and it worked a treat first time. Thank you!

As the main contractor on a barn conversion.
As the main contractor on a barn conversion. I had to contact the company for some parts that were missing off a kitchen sink waste thanks to cowboy kitchen fitters. I found the lady opratives extremely helpful and polite. One in particular, Christina Dickinson, not only found the parts I needed, but sent them free of charge to me. To me , the after sales of Shaws is second to none. Thank you so much.

We're glad to be able to help, and hope the rest of the barn conversion goes smoothly. Please do not hesitate to contact us again if you need further assistance.
Outstanding customer service
It has been an absolute pleasure to deal with Shaws. These days we are all too familiar with poor, robotic customer service.
Shaws is a company that looks after its customers in the good old fashioned way and genuinely goes above and beyond to help. Thank you so much to Sandra T for doing just that to help me source a sink after I had been let down by a different supplier and product.
Sandra was super helpful with advice and also helped me with installation queries and additional items that a very non plumber / kitchen newbie needed to know.
Finally I love any company that leaves a voicemail saying the team are having their lunch hour. This is a company that looks after it’s staff who in turn look after their customers. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Sandra Thompson - Absolutely wonderful member of staff from SHAWS of DARWEN
Sandra Thompson, Customer Services/Sales Co-ordinator of SHAWS of DARWEN gave us the best customer service we have ever received from a company. She was polite and friendly and understanding of how upset and frustrated we were when another company (Bradford Bathroom Company) had made a mistake regarding sending us the wrong sink. Sandra promptly organised a replacement sink to be shipped over to us in Australia at no cost to us. She replied to all of our emails promptly and was always happy to talk on the phone to make sure all our issues were resolved quickly. I highly recommend SHAWS of DARWEN, not only for the beautiful products they sell but for the way that they look after their customers not only before you purchase a product but also when things need changing or need to be corrected. We have bought 6 sinks from them and could not be happier with the quality of the products they sell. Our Ribchester 1000 kitchen sink is the centrepiece of our kitchen and every visitor to home comments on how beautiful it is. Thank you, Sandra (Thompson) for looking after us over the last few weeks. It has been an absolute pleasure, and you are a great asset to SHAWS, they should be very proud to have you.

I purchased a Shaw's classic farm sink and within a year it began crazing. A friend said Shaw's would replace the sink. I have contacted them numerous times via email and had one response saying they couldn't help because I bought it in the USA. So, I am stuck with a crazing, cracking Shaw's sink.

Dear Gigi, Thank you for taking the time to write a review of Shaws on Trustpilot. We really do appreciate all feedback, positive or negative. First, you should always receive a response to your emails, so we're sorry that you didn't receive and answer each time. Second, crazing can happen on any ceramic sink. We work with a natural material and although crazing is rare in a Shaws sink, there is no way to predict the likelihood of it occurring. And again, apologies that your sink has suffered from this. We do offer a warranty for crazing and cracking, but I'm afraid our UK Customer Services team cannot assist you directly with any US claim. Have you contacted the US House of Rohl Customer Services team (the number is 800 777 9762)? The Warranty information is available on the US website, houseofrohl.com. If you're having problems making contact with that team, please respond here. Thank you.

We purchased a Shaws farmhouse sink a year and a half ago. Crazing of the sink happens within the first few months. We have tried over and over to get a response from the company with no results. You are taking a chance with a purchase of this sink or any products as the customer service is non existent. The sinks are beautiful but this problem with cracking or crazing is an issue with a very expensive product.

Thank you for taking the time to write and provide feedback. We do appreciate it, whether the comments are positive or negative. First, our apologies that you have not received any responses from us. That's not our usual level of customer service, and we will try and follow this up and find out what has happened. Second, a note about crazing. No ceramic sink manufacturer can guarantee that crazing will not occur. In fact it is quite rare with a Shaws sink, but we work with fireclay, a natural material, and no one has yet discovered a method of predicting crazing. It doesn't affect the performance of the sink, and indeed some people feel it adds character, but we do offer a warranty that covers crazing for those who would like a replacement. We respond to Trustpilot reviews from our factory in Lancashire, England, but if you are a US customer you can pursue a warranty claim using the information on the House of Rohl website (https://thehouseofrohl.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/user-downloads/us-shaws-warranty-feb-2022.pdf). If you're in the UK, may we ask you to once more call the team here at Darwen, and we should be able to help (phone 01254 775111).
Saved by Shaws of Darwen amazing customer service
I had a serious issue with an online retailer selling Shaws of Darwen sink products. The retailer (unconnected to Shaws) was not a legitimate business and was taking orders they could not fulfil. When this came to light, we had a serious problem of no sink and lost money. When I took the issue to Shaws of Darwen, they went out of their way to resolve the problem and source us a product in amazing time. I highly recommend dealing with this company - their ethics and customer care were amazing.

Just a brief note to thank you for writing a review of Shaws and for your kind words. These issues are relatively rare, but extremely distressing when you encounter them. Hopefully you can now put it all behind you and enjoy your new kitchen, and especially the new sink. It should give you many, many years of satisfactory use.
Fantastic customer service
I emailed Shaw's regarding the overflow connection on an old Shaw's Belfast sink. I was promptly replied to by a very helpful member of staff named Sandra, who very kindly sent me images of the part I required and then sent me the parts free of charge.
An excellent company and customer service, I couldn't have been happier.

Moved into a house with a Shaw's sink and the overflow covers had cracked. Dropped them a line to see if they had replacement covers and in no time they'd sent 2 entire replacement overflow systems with covers, free of charge!
Proper customer service, very impressed.

Only interested in their marketing.
Having 'inherited' a Shaw's Belfast sink in the house we bought I asked for advice re installing a soap dispenser in the 2nd aperture already available left by the mixer tap using only one.
No acknowledgement or advice was forthcoming, but merely weeks later only marketing emails which has prompted this review.
So today 'Unsubscribe' is the best option after experiencing such lack of service.

Thank you for taking the time to write a Trustpilot review. Please accept our apologies, as we do seem to have lost your email. Would you mind either resending (the address is sales@shawsofdarwen.com) or calling our Customer Services team in Darwen on 01254 775 111 (weekday office hours)? Shaws don't produce deck-mounted soap dispensers, but our sister company Perrin & Rowe does, so you could also ask their advice (their Rainham Customer Services team is on 01708 526 361). It may come down to the diameter and exact position of the second aperture in relation to the back edge of the sink. If you can't make a soap dispenser work, how about a matching Shaws soap dish to cover the hole? (See the Mini Sink on our website.) It's a last resort, perhaps, but we'll happily send you one of those if it would help.
Excellent advice and help

Issue with my sink
I bought a Butler 1000 from Shaws in 2018, and was only installed in our new kitchen late 2021 as the renovation was delayed. Despite taking great care of the sink, beyond the usage one would reasonably made of it, and beyond what is mentioned in the care guide, we started seeing some scratches on the surface of the sink few weeks after using it.
I contacted Shaws twice about this and got no answer... until they replied to this review. It happened that Shaws' email address I had at the time of my order was no longer used. Once we finally got in touch, it all went smooth. I provided Shaws with pictures of the defect and they sent a replacement sink according to their lifetime warranty. Top-notch!
Keep in mind though that as handmade sinks, each one is slightly different and unique: the countertop may need to adjust to the replacement sink.
[NOTE] I updated my review to reflect my experience with Shaws of Darwen, from bad (because of no answer, but they just didn't receive my emails) to excellent (as we got in touch and they committed to their lifetime warranty).

Excellent quality Belfast sink. More than happy with it.
Bought protective grid for base of sink….
Also excellent quality.
A very good company to deal with. Helpful and polite staff. The carrier/driver was more than helpful and without being asked offered to help carry it into the house…very polite. All in all 10 out of 10!!!
Even got a free hessian shopper/goody bag of kitchen related and useful items!
