Kitchen sink repair near Colchester

How we price kitchen sink repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Kitchen sink repair at your home in Colchester

We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Whether it’s dents and scuffs on cabinets and chips in ceramic sinks, we can help, on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, gloss and matt cupboard doors and cabinet ends & plinths alike.

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble 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. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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

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

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Colchester, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Colchester: your questions answered

Do you work in Colchester?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Colchester and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair a chipped Belfast sink?

Yes. We often repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
