Kitchen sink repair in Fothergill

Kitchen sink repair in Fothergill without replacing anything

We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Common call-outs are for dents and scuffs on cabinets and chips in ceramic sinks, on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and gloss and matt cupboard doors.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

What affects the price in Fothergill

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Fothergill, and we will reply with a fixed price.

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your photos

  • Colour mixed on the day to match

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  2. We fill chips and rebuild 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

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Fothergill questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Fothergill?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Are you accredited?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair a chipped Belfast sink?

Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.

How soon can you come?

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