Kitchen sink repair in Alkham

Kitchen sink repair at your home in Alkham

If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it typically needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. We regularly repair composite sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips in ceramic sinks and chipped door and drawer edges.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
  • Doors swollen by water
  • Sinks cracked through the base

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Gloss and matt cupboard doors
  • Vinyl-wrapped doors
  • Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
  • Composite sinks
  • Cabinet ends & plinths

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What affects the price in Alkham

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Alkham. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the sink or cupboard door, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Alkham

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alkham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Alkham questions

Do you come to Alkham?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Alkham and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and prepare the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. The repair is sanded to the original profile.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze or door.
  5. The repair is polished or sealed.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
