Sink & basin repair in Ansty, Dorset
Sink repair in and around Ansty: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95

- Knocks from hair straighteners
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Common questions in Ansty
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ansty.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
