Kitchen sink repair for Elmstead homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

About our kitchen sink repair in Elmstead

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Whether it’s cracks around the waste and dents and scuffs on cabinets, we can help, on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and gloss and matt cupboard doors alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

FAQs for Elmstead

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does kitchen sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

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

  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.
