How we handle kitchen sink repair in Drylaw

We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. If you’re dealing with chips in ceramic sinks and cracks around the waste, we can help, on vinyl-wrapped doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and composite sinks alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Landlord and trade work in Drylaw

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

What kitchen sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Drylaw

Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Drylaw. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  2. We fill chips and rebuild edges.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
