About our kitchen sink repair in Charles

We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. If you’re dealing with damage from fitting or moving appliances and chips in ceramic sinks, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Your questions about kitchen sink repair in Charles

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Charles is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you fix kitchen doors?

Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on most door finishes.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. We fill chips and rebuild edges.
  3. The repair is sanded to the original profile.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze or door.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX32 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Charles, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Charles

A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Charles customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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