Kitchen sink repair in Chilton

Kitchen sink repair at your home in Chilton

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

FAQs for Chilton

Will there be a smell?

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

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Chilton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  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. The repair is polished or sealed.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
