Do you need sink repair in Mount Vernon?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Common questions in Mount Vernon
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Mount Vernon
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- 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 it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We leave the room as we found it
