When a repair isn’t the answer

  • Doors swollen by water
  • Sinks cracked through the base

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

  • Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks

Kitchen sink repair in Down Street without replacing anything

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 chips in ceramic sinks, we can help, on composite sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and gloss and matt cupboard doors alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Down Street and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Landlord and trade work in Down Street

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Down Street as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Down Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Down Street: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Do you come to Down Street?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Down Street and the rest of East Sussex. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of East Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How the visit works

Your technician turns 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 morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze or door.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What kitchen sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
