Or it could be just politeness. Like buying someone a drink if you accidentally spill theirs.

It's more like walking in to somebody and spilling your drink and expecting them to buy you another

Replacing something damaged is not compensation.

Yes it is (assuming of course the replacement is provided by whoever caused the damage).

That's exactly what compensation is for - putting the person back in the situation they were in beforehand, as far as possible.

You have to ask yourself, how much is my time worth? Is it worth all of the hassle the OP has went through to get a measley £30?

It depends how well off you are. If you describe £30 as "measly" i guess you are better off than a lot of people on here.

As I said earlier, it's about how you value your time. Let's assume the OP has spent 2-4 hours on getting this resolve all in all. That means he values his spare time at being £7.50 and £15.00 an hour. My spare time is worth considerably more than that.

I suspect if op found £30 a lot of money then he wouldn't have spent it on a single t shirt
