Kitchen sink repair across Gateshead: what to expect

Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Common call-outs are for cracks around the waste and chipped door and drawer edges, across vinyl-wrapped doors, gloss and matt cupboard doors and composite sinks.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. We shape the repair to match the original.
  4. The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Prices in Gateshead

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Getting a price

How the damage happens

Ceramic sinks chip when pans and crockery are dropped, while doors take knocks from bins, chairs and hoovers.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips in ceramic sinks
  • Dents and scuffs on cabinets
  • Chipped door and drawer edges
  • Cracks around the waste

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price kitchen sink repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole sink or cupboard door
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing

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

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Gateshead: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Gateshead?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
