About our kitchen sink repair in Altham

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Typical jobs include damage from fitting or moving appliances and cracks around the waste, across cabinet ends & plinths, composite sinks and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Altham

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairing versus replacing in Altham

Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is.

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
