Kitchen sink & door repair in Clifton, Salford

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kitchen sink repair in Clifton, done in place
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Whether it’s chips in ceramic sinks and cracks around the waste, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?
Yes. We often repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you cover Clifton?

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Salford and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are 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.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Most clients in Clifton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What affects the price in Clifton
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire sink or cupboard door
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the sink or cupboard door, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
