What affects the price in Compton Valence
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Compton Valence. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Compton Valence, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
About our sink repair in Compton Valence
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips from dropped toiletries.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Compton Valence, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
