Kitchen sink repair in Five Ashes without replacing anything
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it typically needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Whether it’s dents and scuffs on cabinets and damage from fitting or moving appliances, we can help, on gloss and matt cupboard doors, vinyl-wrapped doors and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Five Ashes and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in Five Ashes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
