How do I book?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

About our kitchen sink repair in Cole End

If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it typically needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. We’re often asked to fix dents and scuffs on cabinets and chipped door and drawer edges, on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, composite sinks and vinyl-wrapped doors.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, 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.

  • Composite sinks

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. The repair is sanded to the original profile.
  4. The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
  5. We polish or seal the repair.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Cole End customers choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cole End

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cole End as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
