Book kitchen sink repair in Cottenham

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How we handle kitchen sink repair in Cottenham

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. We regularly repair vinyl-wrapped doors, cabinet ends & plinths and composite sinks, and common reasons people contact us are chipped door and drawer edges and chips in ceramic sinks.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. A sink mat protects against dropped 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 tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cottenham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We match the colour to the glaze or door.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price
