How we handle kitchen sink repair in Craghead

If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it usually needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. We regularly repair gloss and matt cupboard doors, vinyl-wrapped doors and cabinet ends & plinths, and people most frequently call us about chipped door and drawer edges and dents and scuffs on cabinets.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Craghead and across County Durham. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

What affects the price in Craghead

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most clients in Craghead get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  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. The repair is polished or sealed.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire sink or cupboard door, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

FAQs for Craghead

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across County Durham.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire sink or cupboard door and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Repair or replace in Craghead?

Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
