For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Your questions about sink repair in East Anstey

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What affects the price in East Anstey

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for East Anstey. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in East Anstey

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
