What we are called out for in Anstey

Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips around the rim
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
- A period basin that needs restoring

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Anstey. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs
- Same prices wherever you are

DIY kit or professional repair?
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. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
