Kitchen sink repair at your home in Barnston

Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We are often asked to fix chips in ceramic sinks and chipped door and drawer edges, on cabinet ends & plinths, composite sinks and gloss and matt cupboard doors.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 photos.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one 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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Barnston

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire sink or cupboard door, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Barnston: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you cover Barnston?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Barnston. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you fix kitchen doors?

Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on most door finishes.

What does kitchen sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CM6 postcode.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How we price kitchen sink repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Barnston. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, 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.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Barnston?

Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
