How we handle kitchen sink repair in Barkby Thorpe

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Our technicians work on vinyl-wrapped doors, cabinet ends & plinths and composite sinks, and the jobs we see most are chipped door and drawer edges and cracks around the waste.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. A repair leaves everything in place. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why Barkby Thorpe customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Barkby Thorpe. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire sink or cupboard door
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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