Kitchen sink repair in Cottam

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’re 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 fails, we can still put it right.

How we handle kitchen sink repair in Cottam

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 repair chips and dents. If you are dealing with cracks around the waste and chips in ceramic sinks, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Repair or replace in Cottam?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and prepare the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze or door.
  5. We polish or seal the repair.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

How we price kitchen sink repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

FAQs for Cottam

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

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