How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

About our kitchen sink repair in Gathurst

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically 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. Common call-outs are for damage from fitting or moving appliances and chips in ceramic sinks, across vinyl-wrapped doors, gloss and matt cupboard doors and cabinet ends & plinths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Gathurst and across Wigan. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Your questions about kitchen sink repair in Gathurst

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you cover the whole of Wigan?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Gathurst

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in Gathurst?

Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Gathurst customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Landlord and trade work in Gathurst

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
