How we handle kitchen sink repair in Gatehead

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 are frequently asked to fix damage from fitting or moving appliances and chipped door and drawer edges, across cabinet ends & plinths, vinyl-wrapped doors and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Gatehead and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. The repair is sanded to the original profile.
  4. The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Questions from Gatehead

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you cover the whole of East Ayrshire?

Across the UK, so Gatehead is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair a chipped Belfast sink?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gatehead. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
