Kitchen sink repair at your home in Crossgate
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Whether it’s cracks around the waste and chipped door and drawer edges, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area.
- Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

FAQs for Crossgate
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Crossgate
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
