How we handle kitchen sink repair in Backburn
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Typical jobs include chips in ceramic sinks and damage from fitting or moving appliances, across gloss and matt cupboard doors, cabinet ends & plinths and vinyl-wrapped doors.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t 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.

What kitchen sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Backburn: your questions answered
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?
Yes. We frequently repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I get a price for kitchen sink repair in Backburn?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

- We clean and prepare the damaged area.

- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- The repair is polished or sealed.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Common problems we fix in Backburn
Ceramic sinks chip when pans and crockery are dropped, and cupboard doors get knocked by chairs, bins and vacuum cleaners.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

What else we do in Backburn
Should you replace it?
Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
