What a repair cannot fix

- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Kitchen sink repair in Dunswell without replacing anything
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Our technicians work on gloss and matt cupboard doors, cabinet ends & plinths and composite sinks, and people most often call us about dents and scuffs on cabinets and chipped door and drawer edges.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, 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 happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- We sand the repair to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- The repair is polished or sealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the sink or cupboard door, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Common questions in Dunswell
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How we price kitchen sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HU6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
