Kitchen sink repair for Caversham homes

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Kitchen sink repair in Caversham, done in place

If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it usually needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Common call-outs are for damage from fitting or moving appliances and cracks around the waste, in composite sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and vinyl-wrapped doors.

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

Can I fix it myself?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole sink or cupboard door
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most clients in Caversham get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

  • Damage from fitting or moving appliances
  • Cracks around the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to care for the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. 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 match the colour to the glaze or door.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about kitchen sink repair in Caversham

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

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.
