Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

FAQs for Compton Abbas
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How much does sink repair cost in Compton Abbas?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SP7 postcode.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Do you need sink repair in Compton Abbas?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped basin edge
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- How to look after the finish
- Who will actually do the work
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
