How to compare quotes

How we handle kitchen sink repair in Backlands

We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We regularly repair ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, composite sinks and cabinet ends & plinths, and the jobs we see most are chips in ceramic sinks and damage from fitting or moving appliances.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Backlands, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

How we price kitchen sink repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. 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. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
