Sink repair in Navestock Common without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. We are often asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and a period basin that needs restoring, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
In a village like Navestock Common, older cottages sometimes have period basins and toilets, which are worth repairing rather than replacing. We work around original marks where possible.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Navestock Common
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
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.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days. For a rural address like Navestock Common, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the sink repair comes with us in one trip.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space clear if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repairing versus replacing in Navestock Common
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. In an older home in a village like Navestock Common, replacing a basin can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- Fixed quotes from pictures
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
Take a look at our Pricing.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Navestock Common. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole basin
Most clients in Navestock Common get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
