How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for The Mount. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for The Mount. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Questions from The Mount
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Do you need sink repair in The Mount?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How to care for the finish
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
