How we handle kitchen sink repair in East Craigs

If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it usually 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 dents and scuffs on cabinets, we can generally put it right, on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, gloss and matt cupboard doors and composite sinks alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Cabinet ends & plinths
  • Composite sinks
  • Vinyl-wrapped doors
  • Gloss and matt cupboard doors
  • Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for East Craigs

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you cover East Craigs?

We do. Technicians travel to East Craigs from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. The repair is sanded to the original profile.
  4. The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
  5. We polish or seal the repair.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
