About our sink repair in Compton Dando

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for an antique basin with chips and crazing in the glaze, in enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Do you need sink repair in Compton Dando?

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin

Common questions in Compton Dando

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Compton Dando?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Compton Dando. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Do you cover Compton Dando?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Compton Dando from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you accredited?

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

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Compton Dando. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
