Choosing a repair company

How we handle kitchen sink repair in Ely

If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it typically needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. We regularly repair cabinet ends & plinths, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and vinyl-wrapped doors, and common reasons people contact us are dents and scuffs on cabinets and chips in ceramic sinks.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Your questions about kitchen sink repair in Ely

Are there extra charges for Ely?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?

Yes. We often repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How much does kitchen sink repair cost in Ely?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

What affects the price in Ely

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  2. We fill chips and rebuild edges.
  3. We shape the repair to match the original.
  4. We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
  5. The repair is polished or sealed.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

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. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ely as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Ely

Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ely. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
