When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Sink repair at your home in Compton
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you’re dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips on the rim or front edge, we can help.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Compton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
When to call us in Compton
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Questions to ask before booking

- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Repair or replace in Compton?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
