Sink repair in Navidale

Sink repair in Navidale, done in place

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about an antique basin with chips and chips around the rim.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Navidale as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it

Navidale questions

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you come to Navidale?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Navidale. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
