Sink repair in Anstey without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you are dealing with a crazed, tired basin and chips from dropped toiletries, we can usually put it right.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What affects the price in Anstey
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Anstey questions
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we are called out for in Anstey
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped basin edge
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
