Repair or replace: which is better?

A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs 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 pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Kitchen sink repair at your home in Bowden

Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We regularly repair gloss and matt cupboard doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and cabinet ends & plinths, and people most often call us about dents and scuffs on cabinets and cracks around the waste.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bowden

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Bowden: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across the Scottish Borders.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you repair a chipped Belfast sink?

Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
  • Doors swollen by water
  • Sinks cracked through the base

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

What affects the price in Bowden

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bowden. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole sink or cupboard door, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
