Kitchen sink repair at your home in Cathcart

Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it typically needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Common call-outs are for dents and scuffs on cabinets and chips in ceramic sinks, in ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, composite sinks and cabinet ends & plinths.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cathcart

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean and prepare the damaged area.
  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. The repair is polished or sealed.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cathcart. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Cathcart, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How do I get a price for kitchen sink repair in Cathcart?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work in Cathcart?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Cathcart. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
