Kitchen sink repair near Catchgate

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  2. We fill chips and rebuild edges.
  3. We sand the repair 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

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Kitchen sink repair at your home in Catchgate

We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it usually needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Typical jobs include chipped door and drawer edges and dents and scuffs on cabinets, in vinyl-wrapped doors, gloss and matt cupboard doors and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire sink or cupboard door
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Common questions in Catchgate

Can you repair cupboard doors?

Yes. We repair chips, dents and scuffs on gloss, matt and wood-effect doors.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
