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.
Your questions about sink repair in Compton Chamberlayne
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover the whole of Wiltshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Compton Chamberlayne included. Travel is included in the price.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repairing versus replacing in Compton Chamberlayne
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
