How we handle sink repair in Compton Bishop

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you are dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and cracks starting at the waste, we can help, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

FAQs for Compton Bishop

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Do you come to Compton Bishop?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Compton Bishop from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Compton Bishop

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Compton Bishop, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
