About our sink repair in Port Navas
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you are dealing with crazing in the glaze and an antique basin with chips, we can generally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Port Navas. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When to call us in Port Navas
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Look out for these signs:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips around the rim
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Port Navas questions
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Port Navas
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Should you replace it?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
