Kitchen sink repair in Dores

How we handle kitchen sink repair in Dores

If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Whether it’s chips in ceramic sinks and dents and scuffs on cabinets, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. The repair is sanded to the original profile.
  4. The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
  5. The repair is polished or sealed.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Dores, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Highland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairing versus replacing in Dores

Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. A repair leaves everything in place. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Dores. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Common questions in Dores

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Do you work in Dores?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Dores. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
  • Doors swollen by water
  • Sinks cracked through the base

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
