How we handle kitchen sink repair in Basingstoke
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Our technicians work on vinyl-wrapped doors, composite sinks and cabinet ends & plinths, and common reasons people contact us are chipped door and drawer edges and chips in ceramic sinks.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Basingstoke: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a chipped Belfast sink?
Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Hampshire.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire sink or cupboard door and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you work in Basingstoke?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Basingstoke. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What kitchen sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Basingstoke. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RG24 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop 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 repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
