Kitchen sink repair in Chilton Lane without replacing anything

We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We work on composite sinks, gloss and matt cupboard doors and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, and people most often call us about chipped door and drawer edges and chips in ceramic sinks.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chilton Lane use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What kitchen sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Chilton Lane. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Chilton Lane

A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean and prepare the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. We shape the repair to match the original.
  4. We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
