Kitchen sink repair in Ford

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How we handle kitchen sink repair in Ford

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If you’re dealing with chipped door and drawer edges and dents and scuffs on cabinets, we can usually put it right, on gloss and matt cupboard doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and vinyl-wrapped doors alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ford and across Sunderland. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ford

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Your questions about kitchen sink repair in Ford

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you cover the whole of Sunderland?

All of Sunderland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do you cover Ford?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ford. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Ford, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any 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.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire sink or cupboard door, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
