How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Sink repair in Compton without replacing anything
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
FAQs for Compton
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you come to Compton?
We do. We send a technician to Compton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are there extra charges for Compton?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
