Advice
About our kitchen sink repair in Bassenthwaite
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Our technicians work on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, gloss and matt cupboard doors and cabinet ends & plinths, and common reasons people contact us are dents and scuffs on cabinets and damage from fitting or moving appliances.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
